Artist Development Grants (January 2027 round)
Vermont Arts Council
You should apply if you’re a Vermont artist 18 or older who has lived in the state for at least a year.
About
The Vermont Arts Council gives Artist Development Grants of up to $2,000 to working artists for costs that move their practice forward: studying with a mentor or teacher, learning a new technique, strengthening an art business, or making new work tied to a specific opportunity. The application is short, and recipients are chosen by a random draw weighted for geographic spread across the state. This is the second of two FY27 rounds; notifications usually go out by email within three weeks, and funded activity must be finished within the grant period.
Eligibility
Vermont residents of at least one year, aged 18 or older, at any career stage, who are up to date on reports for earlier Council grants. FY26 recipients, nonprofits and college-credit projects are not eligible.
