THE JOHN FLUEVOG ARTIST GRANT GUIDELINES

• Applicants will be required to create an account at fluevog.com to be able to view and manage their application.
• The 2026 Fluevog Artist Grant submission deadline ends on February 27th, 2026.
• The 2026 grants are for art projects that begin after the grant decision is made and end 6 months afterwards. Grants may not be used for retro-funding.
•  A volunteer Advisory Committee will adjudicate the winner.
• Your artwork must follow acceptable community standards. Preference will be given to submissions that are positive, bold and original in spirit. The Fluevog Artist Grant will not support works that exploit an individual’s vulnerability.
• John Fluevog Shoes appreciates the opportunity to make site visits.
• In some cases, we may ask to highlight your project for use in our communications and publications.
• You are also required to acknowledge the funder. Possible wording includes “This project was (partially) funded by John Fluevog Shoes”, or “The artist appreciates funding received from John Fluevog Shoes”. Contact the Grant Facilitator for approved logos.
• Successful applicants will also be required to provide regularly scheduled updates to demonstrate their ongoing progress and document project milestones as necessary
• Everyone who receives an Artist Grant must write a Final Report. The Final Report is meant for you to share stories about your project and to describe your process. Images and/or video documentation of your artwork (whatever its form) must also be included in your Final Report.
• If you’ve read this far, we already think you’re awesome.
•  All projects must be completed and final reports submitted within 6 months of award adjudication.
•  Although we will not require you to submit receipts, we do ask for a simple account of how you spent your grant money in an expense report. This information is useful for us in designing an effective grant program.
•  Grants are not intended to pay for food or personal residence rent. You may build educational costs and capital costs into your project budget. Educational costs include things such as taking a course or purchasing instructional materials. A capital cost is a one-time purchase of a necessary item or equipment that will be used for this and future art projects and does not get ‘used up’ (like paint or clay) in the process of making the art. The sum of both should not exceed $1,000.
•  All applicants will be mailed out a tax slip to the address listed on their application.
