At Antenna, we recognize the profound impact creative practitioners have on enriching our communities and shaping our shared cultural identity. Since July 2024, Antenna has piloted an biannual micro grant program to provide artists, writers, book artists and culture bearers with resources in support of their artistic practices. As a community arts institution, we believe in making our resources more accessible to alleviate some of the financial burdens artists face.
In this fall 2025 round, 20 grants of $500 will be awarded through a random selection process. Grantees will be announced by November 10, 2025. Application submissions cap at 200.
