In 2010, through the estate of artists Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum established an annual grant for American painters aged 45 years or older. Since that time, The Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant has awarded $30,000-$35,000 each year to mature American artists.
Grants, typically ranging $5,000 to $30,000, are offered to American painters aged 45 or older who demonstrate financial need. The fund honors its namesakes, in particular Lillian Orlowsky, who sought to provide financial support to mature artists due to her passionate commitment to art. The goal of the grant is to promote public awareness and a commitment to American art, as well as encouraging interest in artists who lack adequate recognition.
We highly encourage Massachusetts artists who fit the eligibility requirements to apply.
The postmark deadline for the grant is April 3, 2017. Find guidelines, application instructions, and more information.
