Artists helping other Artists - we are each others best resource. We help each other by offering critiques, exhibition opportunities, competition information, funding opportunities and more. This page will connect Artists with opportunities and funding information that have been created by other Artists. We appreciate those foundations that have been created by prosperous and successful Artists and want to continue a tradition of giving.
Red Easel wants to establish an excellent resource of information to the Artist in need of support or emergency grants. A number of these foundations are listed below. If you have information about an Artist foundation that is not listed here, please pass it on so we can list it on this important page.
