About the foundation
The Jerome Foundation, established in 1964 by artist and philanthropist Jerome Hill, is dedicated to supporting emerging artists in the visual arts, media arts, and performing arts. With a focus on early-career creators, the foundation provides grants and fellowships that enable artists to develop new work and advance their creative practices. Its programs are rooted in a commitment to experimentation, risk-taking, and artistic growth, often prioritizing projects that might not receive support from mainstream funders. The foundation operates primarily in Minnesota and New York City, though some initiatives have national reach.
Funding opportunities
2 listedApplication guidance
Artists should carefully review eligibility criteria, as most programs target specific career stages and geographic regions. The foundation values proposals that demonstrate a clear artistic vision, a willingness to take risks, and a plan for how the grant will facilitate creative development. Applications should articulate the project's significance and feasibility without overstating outcomes. Deadlines are typically annual, and applicants are encouraged to attend information sessions or consult past grantees for insights. The review process is highly competitive, so a compelling, authentic artist statement and work samples are essential.
