The Anonymous Was A Woman Environmental Art Grants (AWAW EAG), administered by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), represent a significant commitment to both environmental art and gender equity in the arts. The program provides direct grants of up to $20,000 to environmental art projects led by women, transgender, and gender-nonconforming artists based in the United States. This initiative is part of a broader effort to support creative practices that engage with environmental issues, a field that has gained increasing urgency and visibility in contemporary art discourse. NYFA, a longstanding pillar of artist support, oversees the grant program, ensuring a rigorous and transparent selection process. The grants are intended to fund projects at various stages of development, from conception to realization, and can cover a range of expenses including materials, research, travel, and documentation. The program is open to artists working in any discipline, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of environmental art. Past recipients have included artists working in photography, sculpture, film, and social practice, among others. The curatorial vision behind the AWAW EAG is to amplify voices that have historically been marginalized in both the environmental movement and the art world. By focusing on women, transgender, and gender-nonconforming artists, the grant seeks to support perspectives that are often underrepresented in conversations about ecology and sustainability. The program does not prescribe a particular aesthetic or approach; rather, it encourages projects that demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with environmental themes, whether through direct action, research, or poetic interpretation.
