Exhibition Assistance Grants assist individual visual artists, craft artists and media artists with costs directly related to preparation for a confirmed, upcoming exhibition. These costs may include materials, framing and presentation, crating and transportation. The exhibition may take place at any public site, providing that it is advertised and open to the public during specific hours. A letter from the gallery or exhibition organizer confirming the applicant's participation is required as part of the application.
