Leeway Foundation Invites Applications From Women and Trans Artists in Delaware Valley Region
Deadline: April 9, 2007

The Leeway Foundation’s (<a href="http://www.leeway.org/">http://www.leeway.org/</a>) grantmaking programs honor women and trans artists for their ability to create social change through their artistic and cultural work.

The foundation’s Transformation Award provides unrestricted annual awards of $15,000 to women and trans artists living in the Delaware Valley region who create art for social change and have done so for the past five years or more, demonstrating a long-term commitment to social-change work.

Leeway will award at least twelve Transformation Awards in 2007. The award is unrestricted (not project-based) and open to women and trans people working in any art form, traditional or non-traditional.

Applicants must be women or trans artists who create art for social change that impacts a larger group, audience, or community; have been creating art for social change for the past five years or more, demonstrating a long-term commitment to this work; have financial need and limited or no access to other financial resources; and have lived for the past two or more years in the Delaware Valley region (i.e., Bucks, Camden, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County).

Visit the foundation’s Web site for complete program information.
