2009-2010 funding application for individual artists now available
The City of Tacoma is now accepting Tacoma Artists Initiative Program
(TAIP) funding applications from eligible individual artists. The
application deadline is Jan. 26, 2009.
TAIP funding ranges from $1,000 to $5,000 and supports the generation or
completion of new artwork as well as a public component in which the
artist shares their talents with the citizens of Tacoma. Past funding
has supported the creation of a short film, the choreography of a new
dance, exploration into a new body of paintings, time to write and
publish poetry and fiction works, the assembly of multi-media
installations and much more. Public components include, but are not
limited to, a public exhibition of artwork, a public reading, a free
workshop or artist talk, a free performance and a public screening of a
film.
Applicants are encouraged to attend a free workshop, which explains the
application process and addresses questions. The workshop will be held
on Jan. 7, 2009, from 5:30 - 7 p.m. at the Tacoma Municipal Building,
747 Market St., Room 1444. All artists funded by the commission must
complete their funded project and public component by Dec. 15, 2010.
To be eligible, an applicant must be a resident of the City of Tacoma, a
practicing artist who is dedicated to producing artwork on a regular
basis, at least 18 years old, and not a full time undergraduate or
graduate student in an arts-related degree program. Artists who have
received TAIP funding between 2004 and 2008 are not eligible to apply.
Other eligibility requirements are listed in the TAIP guidelines.
Artists interested in applying for TAIP funding can read about past
funded artists and download the guidelines and application form on the
