Lookiehere: Grants for Emerging Artists

The Puffin Foundation makes grants to emerging artists in the fields of art, music, theater,dance, photography, and literature whose works due to their genre and/or social philosophy might have difficulty being aired.

Grants from the Puffin Foundation can only be awarded to permanent residents and citizens of the United States. U.S. citizens whose projects encompass work in other countries are still eligible to apply. The foundation does not have the means to fund large film/documentary proposals, grants for travel, continuing education, or the writing or publishing of books. Visit the foundation's Web site for information on requesting an application and for descriptions of funded projects.

Average grant awards are $1,000 to $2,500 each.
Deadline: December 30, 2007
