Black Ball Projects is thrilled to announce that Jazmine Catasús is the recipient of the Black Ball Project 2024 micro-grant.
Catasús is a Brooklyn-based artist and educator specializing in object-based art, creating paintings, prints, and sculptures using handmade paper as a core material. Her work explores the intersections of Blackness, spiritual practices, and materiality, delving into the complexities of Black subjectivity and religio-aesthetics within the African Diaspora.
You can view her work here now, and stay tuned for the launch of her online viewing room and her artist’s talk later this fall.

about the micro-grant
In 2021, thanks to the many generous donations from our supporters, we launched our micro-grant program. This is our fourth year running our micro-grant program to support under-exposed artists. The micro-grant recipient is awarded a $2000 cash grant, a viewing room on our website, and an artist's talk. All additional finalists receive a $250 stipend for the labor involved in the application process. Currently the program is by nomination only. The micro-grant program is funded entirely by your generous donations to Black Ball Projects.
