SCOPE GRANT RECIPIENTS

CYCLE ONE

For the inaugural SCOPE Grant cycle, we received an incredible range of projects and artist applications throughout the US and beyond. Applicants’ ages ranged from under 10 to 60+. Locations included CA, DC, NC, NJ, PA, SC, TN, TX. Creative mediums included archival works, collage, drawing, fiber, film, graphic design, installation, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, storytelling, video, VR, and writing.

Our call-to-artists was a reciprocal act of support for creatives and community at both micro and macro levels. The response was invigorating, humbling, and clear that we have a responsibility to carry this mission forward. In that spirit, this will be the first of an ongoing series of grant funding cycles designed to support cultures of creativity that make communities sustainable, connected, and inspiring for those interacting with it.

Small Creatures is extremely excited to announce the recipients for Cycle 1 of the SCOPE Grant:
