Process

Application:

If you do not already have a free Submittable account, you will need to create one to apply.

There is no application fee.  Locust Projects is committed to making WaveMaker Grants accessible to all applicants. Should you need any accommodations or assistance to complete your application, please reach out to programs@locustprojects.org.

Selection Criteria:

All projects must engage or be shared with the public in unconventional spaces in Miami-Dade County. This may include exhibitions, performances, events, workshops, screenings, programming at alternative or artist-run-spaces. Projects can not be presented at art museums or commercial galleries.

All proposals will be considered based on criteria including but not limited to:

• Overall idea, vision, and artistic innovation

• Relevance to the local social, cultural, and/or geographic context

• Accessibility of the project to the public outside of a museum or gallery

• In person gatherings in free, publicly accessible spaces are an essential requirement.

• Capacity of the applicant to realize the project on time and within budget

• Potential impact on the local community, the arts and culture landscape, and/or the artist’s growth

Grants are reviewed by two curators/program directors representing two of the Warhol Foundation Regional Regranting organizations; 1 past WaveMaker grantee; and a local curator\arts administrator.

All grantees will be notified by the end of August of the status of their application. Grants are funded at 90% of grant amount after all contracts agreements are complete in September. Remaining 10% after the project final report is submitted.
