KAJ SEIFERT FOUNDATION FOR ASPIRING YOUNG ARTISTS
Applications for the 2026 Spring/Summer grant Cycle Are Now open!
Applications will be accepted January 1 through January 31, 2026
This grant is intended to allow the recipients the opportunity to participate in art related experiences. Those experiences may include music camps, dance intensives, online art courses, music lessons, art competitions, travel stipends, and the like.
It’s important to know that “the arts” encompasses an enormous number of possibilities, too many to list here. Use your imagination!
Grant Application
The grant funds are intended to assist the grantee with expenses related to trying a new form of artistic expression. For example, the funds may assist a grantee with the following: an instrument, tap shoes, art supplies, camp tuition, video editing software, lessons, equipment, or an immersive summer camp—-many things are possible with a little support from the Kaj Seifert Foundation for Aspiring Young Artists.
