Creative Capital seeks to support exceptionally bold and groundbreaking work, and as such the selection process is extremely competitive. The Creative Capital Award is designed for artists' projects that require long-term support, and benefit not only from financial resources but ongoing access to counsel and development services; applicants should be in a position to utilize these benefits, and to be active participants in a nationwide network of practicing, mutually supportive peers and colleagues.

Applicants will be required to provide a short- and long-form description for their project, six works samples, and a preliminary budget, and answer a series of questions about their work and practice.

More information regarding the process, including advice from previous Award recipients and jurors, can be found here.
