Emerging Artist Grant
The Emerging Artist Grant was created for Wisconsin artists with little to no experience in the professional art scene. Each year, WAAC works closely with the grant recipient(s) to provide them with funds for booth fees, equipment, and business insight as they establish themselves.

About the Grant:
The Emerging Artist Grant was created to help new artists cross the bridge between hobby and profession.
