IRS990/Desc03Arts AwardsThe 3Arts awards offer recognition to exceptional Chicago-based women artists, artists of color, and artists with disabilities. Every year, ten Chicago artists working in the performing, teaching, and visual arts receive 3Arts awards of $25,000, with no strings attached. Artists may use the awards to defray expenses, pay off debt, purchase equipment, and focus on their creative process-or in any way they see fit. 3Arts awardees are selected through a nomination and jury process, with five discipline-based jury panels comprised of judges from across the country convening in Chicago to make the selections. An unrestricted cash award is significant on its own, but our awards open up many opportunities for artists.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc03AP Project SupportAwardees may receive project support through our online 3AP (3Arts Artists Projects) platform, a unique hybrid grant making and crowdfunding program in which artists post projects to our website and invite contributions from our collective networks. Once 1/3 of the funding goal has been reached, 3Arts contributes 1/3 in the form of a grant, which boosts campaign momentum and operates as an incentive for other supporters. 3AP has a 100% success rate, with 39 new art works funded.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0An International Network of 3Arts Residency FellowshipsEvery 3Arts awardee has the opportunity to apply for our fellowships in an international network of residency programs. The fellowships include monthlong residencies, stipends, and airfare. This program is managed by the Alliance of Artists Communities and our Residency Partners: AS220 Visiting Artist Program (Providence, RI), The Camargo Foundation (Cassis, France), Djerassi Resident Artists Program (Woodside, CA), and The Rauschenberg Residency (Captiva, FL). 3Arts has also established residency fellowships through a long-term alliance with Ragdale Foundation in Lake Forest, Illinois, as well as a partnership with the Hyde Park Art Center.
