The Arizona Commission on the Arts is now accepting applications for 2020 Research & Development (R&D) Grants.

R&D Grants provide funding support to Arizona artists as they work to advance their artistic practice, expand their creative horizons, and deepen the impact of their work.

Who’s it For?

Artists working in any discipline who live and work in Arizona. Whether you’re just getting started or you have already experienced many career successes, the R&D Grant is available to help you take your artistic practice to the next level, including:

  • exploration of new techniques
  • experimentation with new materials or technologies
  • creation of new work
  • development of new strategies for engaging your community of practice

The application period for 2020 Research & Development Grants is now open.

Applications will be accepted through 11:59 PM, Friday, October 25, 2019.
