Offering Operating Support to King County Artists
As one of the largest funders of individual artists in the region, 4Culture is proud to announce the Arc Artist Fellowship. Now in its second year, it provides operational support for King County artists.
Unrestricted awards of $12,000 may be used to offset daily expenses for Fellows as they pursue their creative work. The Fellowship includes modest promotional support through the 4Culture website.

An unrestricted grant allows artists to apply funds when and where it is most needed as they develop their artistic practice. Fellowship funds can be used to offset costs related to rent, childcare, health care, transportation, space rental, legal support, equipment, materials, workshop fees, residencies, and more.
