ELIGIBILITY

The Satellite Fund is open to artists, curators, and other kinds of cultural producers living/working in Cuyahoga County who apply with projects that are based in the visual arts. We accept applications from creative professionals at all stages of their careers who engage in experimental practices with strong conceptual foundations. The projects for which The Satellite Fund is distributed must be created and displayed in Cuyahoga County.

Artists who have confirmed exhibitions scheduled at SPACES n the future, have been awarded The Satellite Fund in 2022, have been awarded The Urgent Art Fund 2023, SPACES staff (and relatives), SPACES board members (and relatives), and SPACES contractors (and relatives) may not apply to The Satellite Fund.

Artists may submit only 1 application with them as the project lead, but may be included in multiple applications, as long as they are the lead on only 1 application.

SELECTION PROCESSES
