Innovate Grants - Winter $1,800 Grants

Innovate Artist Grants runs a recurring quarterly grant program for visual artists and photographers. Each cycle awards two $1,800 grants. The Winter 2026 cycle is one of four cycles per year — applicants who miss one cycle can apply to the next.

Twelve honorable mentions are also featured on the Innovate platform alongside the two main grantees.

Eligibility is open globally to visual artists and photographers. Submission is through Paperform. Fee is $35. The Winter 2026 deadline was March 19.
