Grant Application Requirements

ABOUT THE MOON AND STARS PROJECT GRANTS:
The program provides competitively awarded Project and Residency grants for burgeoning and established artists. Residency grants are awarded only to projects under the auspices of an arts and culture organization in Turkey or the United States. Applicants are required to include an invitation letter from the relevant institution(s). Grant recipients are asked to provide a report upon completion of the program that contains visuals and detailed works about the project, and recognize the American Turkish Society in all written materials related to the program.

Project grants in support of travel and accommodation costs are extended only to projects that will be exhibited in the United States. Due to limited resources, we do not offer funding for film production, education programs, attendance to biennials, and field/research trips. For more information about The American Turkish Society, please see www.americanturkishsociety.org.
