I mentioned the Joan Mitchell Foundation in class. A bunch of my favorite artists have received their grants. Heather mentioned the Foundation's professional development program, and they also run art education programs for kids and high school students. Here's an overview of their grant programs:

Painters and Sculptors Grant Program:
"The Foundation currently awards $25,000 to twenty-five artists through a nomination process. Nominators from across the country are invited to recommend artists, at any stage in their career, who are currently under-recognized for their creative achievements, and whose practice would significantly benefit from the grant. In an anonymous process, a jury panel then selects the twenty-five awardees. Nominators and jurors include prominent visual artists, curators, and art educators who are dedicated to supporting artists."
The MFA Grant Program:
"...created in 1997 to assist painters & sculptors who are receiving their MFA degrees. The Foundation awards $15,000 to each of the fifteen recipients. With these grants the Foundation aims to further the recipients’ artistic careers and to aid, upon graduation, in the transition from academic to professional studio work."
Emergency Program:
"...provides emergency support to artists working in the mediums of painting, sculpture, and/or drawing after natural or manmade disasters that have affected a community."
