IRS990/Desc03Arts AwardsThe 3Arts Awards offer recognition to Chicago-area women artists, artists of color, and artists with disabilities in dance, music, teaching arts, theater, and visual arts. Each year ten artists receive no-strings-attached $25,000 awards, to be used to defray expenses, pay off debt, support new art projects, purchase equipment-or in any way needed. 3Arts awardees are selected by five national jury panels comprised of artists, curators, presenters, and leaders in their fields. The 3Arts Awards program is the entry point to multiyear support for artists. In our first nine years of operations, 3Arts has presented 86 awards and distributed nearly $2.5 million.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc03AP Project SupportAwardees may receive support for the creation of new art work through our unique online 3AP (3Arts Projects) platform that combines crowdfunding with a 1/3 match by our organization. 3Arts provides coaching in fundraising and marketing, produces and funds the project videos, and offers a 3AP workshop to support artists' campaigns. 3AP has a 100% success rate, with all projects meeting or exceeding their fundraising goals.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc03Arts Residency FellowshipsEach year, artists who have received a 3Arts Award are eligible for all-expenses-paid, month-long fellowships at one of four partner sites located around the country and in the south of France. Each fellowship includes a stipend and airfare supported by 3Arts. Managed by the Alliance of Artists Communities, 3Arts Fellowships take place at the Camargo Foundation in France; Djerassi Resident Artists Program in CA; the Joan Mitchell Center in LA; and the Rauschenberg Residency in FL. 3Arts also offers a residency in partnership with the MacDowell Colony. Additionally, we provide customized, in-town residencies for artists with disabilities through a partnership with Bodies of Work and the UofI at Chicago's Department of Disability & Human Development.
