our 2024 micro-grant finalists

Black Ball Projects is proud to introduce you to the six finalists of the fourth annual Black Ball Projects micro-grant: Jazmine Catasus, Jaynie Crimmins, Fay Ku, Yunmee Kyong, Elizabeth Riley, and Claire Sherwood. The genre this year is works on paper, and these six New York based artists are pushing the boundaries of the genre. You can view their work now by clicking on the imaged below, and we will announce the recipient shortly.

The genre this year is works on paper. After meeting initial eligibility requirements of having a mature practice, being underexposed, and having financial need, artists are then judged upon the strength of their submitted works. The recipient will receive the full micro-grant award of $2000, as well as a viewing room and an artist's talk on Black Ball Project's digital platform. Each of the additional finalists will receive a $250 stipend for the labor applied towards completing the application process.

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.
