The 2022 GAP Awards unrestricted project-based grants of $1,500 for artists working in all disciplines across Washington State who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and/or residing outside King County. In 2021, we re-envisioned GAP (previously Grants for Artists' Projects) as Grants for Artists' Progress to begin reversing historic inequities in Artist Trust's funding programs. After speaking directly with artists and partner organizations, we learned artists preferred unrestricted funding for their vision and creative projects. Additionally, we saw this new iteration of GAP as a possibility to provide more resources for artists of all backgrounds. If you know others in your community who can benefit from this award, please share it with them. Warmly, Grace, Luther, and Lydia AT Programs Team P.S.
