Grant opportunity for the Emerging Artist Program
This program is designed specifically for artists who are beginning their career with very little experience exhibiting and selling their artwork at any venue. The application procedure and fee are the same as the regular show however, upon acceptance, emerging artists will pay a lower booth fee $350, have a tent provided and includes workshop, artist mentoring, support for lodging and will sell and showcase their work at the 2025 CCAF.
CherryArts is thrilled to offer a $5,000 grant for emerging artists. In conjunction with the emerging artist program, selected artists will receive unrestricted grant funding to enhance and expand their creative practices. This funding allows artists to pursue their careers and support all aspects of their work, which is not limited to creating the actual artwork.
