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 from $500 up to $5,000 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 from $500 up to $5,000 to pursue a degree, certification or continued education in the field of visual arts, design, or other studies that contribute to a career in visual arts and design. The Foundation supports scholarships for art school, university, college, community college, training and certification programs, and other forms of continued education.
