UETF Artist Resiliency Residency Program: Call for Non-Profits
Artists are the heartbeat of our cultural and civic life. While they have worked tirelessly over the last year, artists, cultural workers, and makers, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, have faced the most disparaging financial impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
To support artists living and working in the City of Albuquerque during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Albuquerque’s Department of Arts and Culture and its Urban Enhancement Trust Fund (UETF) Committee have come together to launch a one-time Artist Resiliency Residency Program.
The first phase of this effort is contracting with community arts and culture-based non-profits within the Albuquerque area to serve as fiscal agents for the artists. Five organizations will be chosen to receive $10,000 each, in addition to the Artist Residency funds, to 1) participate in a unique artists support and community building initiative; and 2) agree to serve as fiscal and outreach sponsors for this initiative.
Our Artists Residency Program will ultimately distribute up to $200,000 among 75 artists ($2,500 per artist). The call for artists will be released later in the year.

Deadline: August 13, 2021 - 4 p.m.
