The Illuminations Grant for Black Trans Women Visual Artists sheds light on the under-recognized contributions of Black trans women visual artists and provides critical support to their continuing work.
The Illuminations Grant for Black Trans Women Visual Artists is an annual $10,000 grant awarded to provide critical support to Black trans women whose work has often been under-recognized in the visual art field. Winning artists and finalists will receive additional professional development resources and further guidance to bolster their creative development in the field. In order to further recognize finalists for their artistic achievements, Queer|Art is pleased to announce that the grant will also provide a $1,250 award to four distinguished finalists.
Qualified artists must be self-identified Black trans women working in visual art and based in the United States. Applications are open March 31, 2025 – July 2, 2025.
