Art Prints 4 Mutual Aid Cohort

Burn Something Collective is seeking submissions for our upcoming project Art Prints 4 Mutual Aid. This project connects artmaking with abolition, popular education, and mutual aid movements. We will select four cohort members who will receive a $1000 stipend and a $150 materials stipend to create works through the lens of mutual aid and movement solidarity that will be developed through training on the artist’s role in liberation movements and mutual aid (led by Burn Something Collective members). 

Eligibility

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Aged 18 and older
• All career stages are welcome, with an emphasis on those who have not yet received significant support. Significant support may be characterized as having received 3 or more grants, several solo gallery exhibitions, or an advanced degree.
• Must be based in the Twin Cities
• Must identify as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color.
• Applicants holding queer, femme, nonbinary, and/or trans identities will be prioritized.

Submissions accepted until March 1, 2025. Instructions for how to submit an application can be found at THIS link (application includes contact information, artist bio, project proposal, reference work, and 5 work samples).
