The Bader + Simon Empowerment Grant

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all who applied. There was a misstep in our application software, and we want to offer our greatest apology that letters did not go out to applicants after the winner was announced.

The selection process was exceptionally competitive due to the remarkable quality of submissions. Their creativity and vision inspire us, and we wish them all the best in their artistic journeys.

The mission of Bader + Simon aims to bring recognition to the achievements of underrepresented artists by empowering communities
to collaborate around art, education, and social justice issues.

The grant is for U.S individuals and emerging artists WITHOUT a MA OR MFA degree and extensive exhibition experience.
