Wanting to encourage our members to explore new opportunities and expand their experience, the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh is excited to offer “Grow in Fiber” Grants. Whether members consider themselves a novice or professional, current members are invited to apply for this developmental grant. This is a fiber focused grant opportunity for artists from various backgrounds and genres; you don’t need to be a fiber artist, but the grant proposal must be fiber focused. This can include artists exploring fiber for the first time.
This grant is open to Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh members both in and out of the area. You don’t need to be a FGP member to apply; but if you are a recipient of the grant, joining FGP is a requirement.
There will be an information session on February 23, 2023 @ 7PM ET via Zoom.
