Helping Women Artists With Cancer

Dear Grant Applicant,

Capelli d’Angeli Foundation is offering a limited number of fellowship grants of up to $500 each for individual women artists who are in treatment or are survivors of cancer at any stage and creating art in the form of painting, sculpture, photography (of all types), and mixed media.  At present we cannot accept video art or other non-three-dimensional art, or writing. 

Grant recipients and award amounts will be determined by a review panel on the basis of accomplishment to date and the promise of future achievement as shown by the images presented.

In addition, each applicant will be required to complete a one to two page essay explaining how her art has helped her deal with her cancer.

There are no restrictions on the subject matter or processes of past or projected work.  However, applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.  We do not accept applications sent from outside the United States.  Also ineligible are video artists, and students who will be enrolled in degree programs at any time during the applicable calendar year.  Past grant recipients may reapply after three years.

A completed application includes the following items:

1.  On a CD:  A maximum of ten digital images (200 dpi, 5 x7”) of representative work.  Each image must be numbered 1-10 and labeled with your name.

2. On the CD:  An image list, with your name at the top of the page.  List for each image number 1-10: title, date of work, dimensions, medium/process.

If your work is best communicated visually by showing its physical or installed nature, or aspects of detail, use one or more of the ten images for that purpose, describe at the bottom of the page.

3.  Also on your CD include: A one to two page statement describing  “How My Art Has Helped Me Deal With My Cancer.”  Your name should appear at the top of this page.

4.  Also on the CD:  A one to two page Resume/Career Summary with your name, address and phone number and email address at the top.

7.  Optional: A self-addressed, stamped postcard, if you wish us to confirm that we have received your application.

Applications are reviewed periodically on a rolling basis.  There may be a lag between receipt of your application and letting you know your status.  Please be patient.  This is a small, volunteer organization.
