Creative Capital
http://creative-capital.org/artistsupport/about
Creative Capital acts as a catalyst for the development of adventurous and imaginative ideas by artists whose work is provocative, timely, and relevant; who are deeply engaged with their art forms and demonstrate a rigorous commitment to their craft, yet are also boldly original and push the boundaries of their genre; who create thrilling, indefinable, artistically omnivorous work that carries the potential to reshape the cultural landscape. Our fierce commitment to freedom of expression combined with our open application process leads Creative Capital to be fearless in the selection of exceptional projects that others might not be willing to support.
A Room of Her Own
http://www.aroomofherown.org/get2know_whoweare.php
AROHO is dedicated to furthering the vision of Virginia Woolf and bridging the gap between a woman’s economic reality and her artistic creation. We bridge this gap by offering generous financial support to women of diverse artistic expression—the written arts (fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and playwriting), as well as the visual arts (painting, sculpture, and photography). We further Woolf’s vision by providing moral support and professional guidance to independent creative women who are committed to their art.
