Black Rabbit Gallery
The Next
Move Grant.
An annual artist creation grant supporting artists as they develop new work and build what comes next.
Every creative career is shaped by a series of moves. Some are planned. Some are unexpected. Some require support at exactly the right time.
The Next Move Grant was created by Black Rabbit Gallery to support artists in the creation of new work.
Rooted in the belief that there is no single path to success in the arts, the grant provides one selected artist with funding to explore an idea, develop a project, or move a body of work forward.
Sometimes the next move is the one that opens everything up.
