Innovate Grant Winter 2026 – Artist & Photographer Grants

Innovate Grant is now accepting submissions for Winter 2026, offering increased award amounts of $1,800. Two grants are awarded each quarter—one to a visual artist and one to a photographer.

In addition, 12 honorable mentions (six in art and six in photography) will be featured on the website and included in an ongoing community of selected artists. Innovate Grant continues to support recipients beyond the award cycle by promoting their work over time.

Innovate Grant supports artists and photographers through quarterly grants. We've simplified the grant process, so that artists and photographers can focus on making their innovative work. The work should speak for itself and our application reflects that.
