The Arts Research Center currently offers two grant opportunities: LIFT Arts Development Grants for students, and LOFT Arts Development Grants for faculty.
The goal of the grant program is to seed arts development and support:
-
creative arts projects/arts research for students across disciplines, including workshops, conferences, archival research, performance or exhibition costs, collaborations, materials, or publication
-
critical developmental phases of arts creation for faculty, including manuscript workshops, staged readings, composition, exhibitions, performances, residencies, or other activities to advance work in creative writing, visual arts, music, theater, performance, film, or other arts practices
-
promotion of the arts research of students and faculty at Berkeley
-
nurturing of creative talent within the arts community (Depts of Art Practice, Art History, Creative Writing, Film & Media, Music, Theater, Dance & Performance Studies) as well as students and faculty working on arts research in diverse disciplines across campus, including the sciences and social sciences, architecture, public policy, business, education and law.
Grants are open to current full-time UC Berkeley undergraduate & graduate students, and current ladder rank faculty. For more grant and funding opportunities for Art & Humanities faculty, please visit the A&H website, here.
Funds expected to arrive by late November, depending on university accounting procedures.
LIFT Student Arts Development Grants
ARC will fund fifteen $500 awards to fund specific creative arts projects or arts research, including workshops, conferences, performance costs, collaborations, materials, publication, or exhibition costs. LIFT grants are open to undergraduate and graduate students. *LIFT grants are available to current fulltime students only. If you receive aid, please check with the Financial Aid office to see if you would need to do a COLA adjustment if you receive the award.
LOFT Faculty Arts Development Grants
ARC will fund six $2,000 awards for faculty to support developmental phases of arts creation, including activities such as manuscript workshops, staged readings, composition performances, or other activities to advance work in creative writing, visual arts, music, theater, performance, film, or other arts practices. *Due to our own grant guidelines, LOFT awards are only available to current ladder rank faculty; funds will be deposited in research accounts.
