If you are a practicing artist, an Illinois resident, and experiencing financial loss or hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you are in the right place.

We will not re-open the application portal, but any eligible artist who applied and did not receive funding in the first two rounds will be automatically considered in the Round Three lottery process. Once Round Two is completed, we will update this page with an anticipated timeline for Round Three.
