Creative Capital provides integrated financial and advisory support to artists pursuing adventurous projects in five disciplines: Emerging Fields, Film/Video, Literature, Performing Arts and Visual Arts. Working in long-term partnership with artists, Creative Capital’s pioneering approach to support combines funding, counsel and career development services to enable a project’s success and foster sustainable practices for its grantees.
Since its founding in 1999, Creative Capital has committed nearly $25 million in financial and advisory support to 372 projects representing 463 artists, and has reached an additional 4,000 artists through its Professional Development Program.
Over the past 11 years, Creative Capital’s artists have flourished:
• Creative Capital artists’ projects have premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, the Walker Art Center, MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the New Museum, The Kitchen, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Los Angeles Film Festival and IFC Center, and several have been presented at the Kennedy Center for the Arts, Tate Modern, the Venice Biennale, the Public Theater, on Broadway and elsewhere.
• After receiving Creative Capital grants, artists have presented their work at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, TEDGlobal, the Venice Biennale, the New World Symphony, the Smithsonian, REDCAT, the Berlin Film Festival, Art Basel Miami Beach, Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, the Wexner Center for the Arts, MASS MoCA, ZER01, SITE Santa Fe, MIT, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center and the Whitney Museum, among other venues.
• Grantees have gone on to receive Guggenheim Fellowships, National Endowment for the Arts grants, Alpert Awards, MacArthur Fellowships, United States Artists Fellowships, Rome Prizes, Emmy Awards, Academy Award nominations, Grammy nominations and a Tony Award nomination.
