We at Repaint History are excited to announce the launch of our latest initiative – a juried artist fund to support women artists and put a spotlight on their immense contribution to the world of art.

This new artist fund is created with a single purpose – to support women artists by providing them with a financial incentive and publicity.

About the Fund: The prize in the amount of 3,000 CAD (increased from 1,000) will be shared between 6 or more artists (min. $500 per artist). To maximize the number of recipients and the size of the fund, 20% of each application fee will be contributed towards the total prize money. The more submissions we receive, the larger the fund will grow and more artists will be selected for the prize. In addition to the fund, the recipients will be interviewed and profiled on Repaint History’s website and social media accounts. If you are not a recipient of the fund you might still be contacted for your work to be profiled on Repaint History's social media accounts.

Eligibility: Artists from across the globe are welcome to apply to this fund with works in any of the following medium: painting, mixed media, sculpture, photography, printmaking and more. No specific education is required. 

Application: To apply, submit your application form below. Make sure to include a link to your portfolio, your website, and social media accounts where you display and promote your work. The submissions will be evaluated by an international jury of curators, who will make the decision on the recipients of the fund. Only one submission per artist.

Submission deadline: December 17, 2020

Announcement of the recipients: January 7-21, 2020 (exact date TBA)

Application fee: 25 CAD (Approx $19 US)
