Now through September 15, Rhizome is accepting submissions for our 2024 Microgrants (ranging from $500-$1500), offering support for new artworks on the web!
Artists, thinker/tinkerers, game-makers, creative hackers, digital archaeologists, code poets and dreamers: Rhizome gives small annual grants to people like you, to support new online projects. No experience is necessary – just review the guidelines, submit an idea, and we will review it in collaboration with guest jurors (Mindy Seu, Chia Amisola, and Tega Brain).
It's been 10 years since we began offering microgrants as a part of our Commissions program. When the program first began, 'microgrants' was described as “a commitment to browser-based art at a moment when art contextualized within the frame of digital culture fill(ed) galleries worldwide.” Ten years on, we've seen many new waves of communities that develop around an interest in art on the web. Rhizome wants to make it feel possible for anyone to host their own website or learn to use the web to tell their own stories.
A creative web for everyone.
