The Nan Yeomans Grant for Artistic Development aims to help young promising artists and artisans working in visual media to further their artistic growth and education.
Totalling $4,000 in value and awarded annually to one individual, this grant is intended to support training or focused creation. This grant is made possible through an endowment fund administered by the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area, with the selection process administered by the Kingston Arts Council (KAC).
The grant is open to all emerging artists and/or artisans between the ages of 17–40 working in visual media who demonstrate financial need. The Nan Yeomans Grant for Artistic Development defines an emerging artist as someone in the early years of their artistic practice/career. They must have produced a small body of work and they may have achieved some local recognition or limited public exhibition experience. Applicants must be at least 17 years old and no more than 40 years old at the time of application.
