The Creative Capital Award supports individual artists developing original, groundbreaking work across visual and performing arts, film, literature, technology, multidisciplinary, and socially engaged practices. Grants are selected through a national multidisciplinary open call and external review. Awardees receive unrestricted project funding of up to $50,000 together with professional-development services, networks, and advisory support. The 2026 awardees have been published; the organization also references a 2027 grant cycle without a current verified deadline on the source page.
