Black Artists + Designers Guild Creative Visionary Grant
- Who Can Apply: Black-identifying craft artists with 10–25 years of active studio practice; no US citizenship required, but a US-based bank account is required for award disbursement.
- The Focus: Projects celebrating Black diasporic expression in craft disciplines, from research and fabrication through to presentation.
- The Funding: Each of two recipients receives $5,000 through two $2,500 ACH payments. The second payment follows a progress/impact report; the award is taxable income in the US.
- Key Requirements: Apply through the Google Form with a primary craft discipline and project responses. The FAQ calls for ten work images and prohibits composites, but also mentions five thumbnails. Confirm the count; the form and its upload or word limits were unreadable.

Application notesApply through the linked Google Form, which could not be read. The official FAQ asks for ten work-sample images, permits multiple views of a piece or installed work, prohibits composite images, and asks applicants to select a primary craft discipline while allowing other craft disciplines in the samples. Describe a feasible project celebrating Black diasporic expression; business operations are not supported. The same FAQ refers elsewhere to five image thumbnails, so confirm the actual upload count in the form or with grants@badguild.info. File/word limits and any CV or other attachments could not be verified. Recipients must submit a one-page progress/impact report with images where appropriate by March 1, 2027 to receive the second $2,500 payment.
