New Jersey State Council on the Arts | Creative Aging Initiative Grant | The Creative Aging Initiative Grant (CAI) provides $10,000 to eligible arts organizations, libraries, veterans homes, senior and community centers, colleges/universities, and units of government to cover costs for arts learning experiences with New Jersey older adults aged 55 and over. Successful applicants will receive $10,000 of funding for each year of the two-year grant cycle, pending available resources. A CAI project is defined as an arts-based learning experience that directly engages older adults for multiple sessions. Projects may be sequential and build to a project culmination (residencies) or include a series of individual workshops that focus on skill-building and development in the performing, visual, media, or literary arts. The CAI guidelines are now available on the Arts Council website. | Application OPENS: SAGE on or around January 7, 2025 | Deadline: February 27, 2025 by 12:00 NOON ET. | More information.

Rowan University Art Gallery and Museum | New Jersey Arts Annual: Artist as Activist | The theme for the Arts Annual 2025 will be Artist as Activist and we will request work that reflects artistic thoughts and responses to that concept. Artist as activist is an artist who harnesses the power of creativity to inspire social and political action. Unlike traditional activism that primarily uses direct action or advocacy, artists engage in activism through various forms. In this case visual art. They use their work to challenge norms, raise awareness about issues, and inspire audiences to think critically about the world around them. We will look for artists whose work tackles a wide range of topics and concerns such as human rights and access to resources, environmental awareness and justice, racial and gender equalities, health and well-being, and the political and cultural climate. Their work may serve as vehicles for expressing advocacy, highlighting injustices, and envisioning alternatives. By capturing emotions, experiences, and truths through their art, they aim to promote empathy, ignite dialogue, and encourage individuals toward collective action. | Deadline: March 3, 2025 | More information and application.
