The Ana & Adeline Foundation Grant & Scholarship Program funds opportunities in visual arts and design for YAYA alumni representing a range of ages, stages in their careers, and disciplines. 

 

Grants are for projects designed to push the limits of individual creative process, to take risks, to collaborate with other artists, and/or to engage with a broader community through art. Grants may also be used to build professional resources and/or to advance entrepreneurial endeavors in the visual arts and design.

 

Scholarships are for tuition & living expenses to attend an accredited college or university to pursue a degree or take courses related to the field of visual arts, design, or other studies that contribute to a career in the arts. Scholarship recipients may apply for up to 5 consecutive years as long as they are enrolled either as part-time or full-time student or until they earn a degree, whichever comes first.

​
