The Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) requests applications from qualified artists and District nonprofit art galleries or organizations for its Fiscal Year 2025 Art Bank Program. Award amounts vary but eligible applicants can be awarded up to $15,000 for individuals and up to $20,000 for nonprofit art galleries or organizations.
In support of local visual artists, District nonprofit art galleries and art organizations, CAH acquires fine art from metropolitan artists to state grow the Art Bank Collection. Artwork in the collection is managed by the Public Art Department of CAH and loaned to District government agencies for display in public areas and offices of government buildings. Now in its 36th year, the Art Bank Collection includes nearly 3,000 artworks in various media.
CAH seeks grant applications from qualified artists and District nonprofit art galleries or organizations representing metropolitan artists for the acquisition of original two- and three- dimensional artwork.
For the purpose of this grant, metropolitan artist is defined as a legal resident of Washington, DC, or a legal resident of within a 50-mile radius of the Washington, DC boundaries, for at least one (1) year prior to the application deadline.
