Call for Entries: Summer 2026 Innovate Grant

Innovate Grant invites visual artists and photographers from around the world to apply for its Summer 2026 grant cycle, awarding two $1,800 grants each quarter—one to a visual artist and one to a photographer.

The program supports innovative creative work across all media and genres. Applicants are encouraged to let their work speak for itself through a streamlined application process designed to allow artists and photographers to focus on their creative practice.

In addition to the two grants, 18 honorable mentions—nine visual artists and nine photographers—will be selected. Honorable mentions will be featured on the Innovate Grant website and become part of its growing community of artists and photographers.
