Icicle Fund Artist Grants

Update! We have additional funds for artists in Grant and Chelan counties!

Thanks to additional funding from the Icicle Fund, Icicle Creek Center for the Arts is able to provide grants to more artists in Chelan and Grant counties during a very difficult year. The Icicle Fund 2020.21 Relief Fund provided over $100,000 in artist grants in support of the critical needs of working artists in North Central Washington* whose incomes have been impacted by COVID-19. *Please note, grants are intended for working artists residing in Okanogan, Chelan, Grant and Douglas Counties and Icicle Creek is awarding grants to those residing in Chelan and Grant counties. 

Application is open through May 15 or until funding is fully allocated.

Artists are the basic building blocks of the Arts Ecosystem – without creating artists, the system does not exist. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NCW artists are facing severe loss in income and business. The Icicle Fund recognizes that artists continue to be deeply impacted as events, conferences, art at Farmer’s Markets, and performances across the country continue to cancel. They are impacted by hospitality industry and retail/artist studio closures, school closures, travel restrictions, continued lay-offs and social distancing recommendations.
