Introducing the 2009 Lincoln Penny Artist Stimulus Grant

Apply now for a 2009 Lincoln Penny Artist Stimulus Grant.
This new grant opportunity proposes an alternative approach to the traditional grant awarding system.

The $1 used to enable these grants was graciously donated by ASDF Makes, NY as part of their 100 $1 Grants project.

The 2009 Artist Stimulus Grant awardees and projects will be archived at www.asdfmakes.com and www.lincolnpennygrant.blogspot.com, A traveling exhibition will follow later in the year with a catalogue published by the Silver Galleon Press.

To apply please answer the following questions and send to alvendia1 (at) gmail [dot] com.
Pennies will be disbursed through the mail upon receiving application.
