About the magazine

Amplify Arts is an artist-run organization based in Omaha, Nebraska, founded in 2012 by a collective of local artists seeking to fill a gap in support for experimental and underrepresented practices. Its core mission is to provide resources, exhibition opportunities, and professional development for artists at critical junctures in their careers, with a particular emphasis on those working outside commercial and institutional mainstreams. The organization operates through a combination of grant programs, residencies, and public projects, often in partnership with other community entities. A key initiative is the Generator Grant, which offers project-based funding to artists in the region, reflecting Amplify's commitment to grassroots, process-oriented support.

Artists should approach Amplify Arts with a clear sense of how their work aligns with the organization's mission of supporting experimental and community-engaged practices. Applications for grants and residencies are typically open to artists in Nebraska and surrounding regions, though some opportunities may have broader eligibility. It is advisable to review past funded projects to understand the range of supported work. Proposals should articulate the project's developmental stage, its potential impact, and a realistic budget. The selection process values authenticity and experimentation over polished presentation, so artists are encouraged to be direct about their intentions and challenges. Deadlines are announced on the website and social media; subscribing to their newsletter is recommended for timely updates.
