Sequential Artists Workshop Institutes Micro-Grants

The Sequential Artists Workshop has committed to giving out grants of $250 to "practicing artists" that "must be developing and dedicated to a current project" according to their press release. Two grants will be given out on September 15 of this year; two more will be awarded next year on April 15.

A form is available through the above link. The deadline for the September grants is August 15; the deadline for the 2013 grant is March 15. A committee made up of SAW's Tom Hart and Leela Corman, the publisher Annie Koyama and a small group of working cartoonists will decide on who gets the awards.

I'm all for money getting out there and into the hands of artists, and I'm all for the recognition that in comics a minor amount of money judiciously distributed can do a major amount of good.
