ARTIST GRANT
COMING SOON
TERAVARNA is a place where creative ideas may become a reality. We are happy to announce that we can allow foreign artists to apply for artist grants to help fund their work. We're committed to helping creative people alike succeed by giving out $2,000 in grants on two separate occasions a year.
Here at TERAVARNA, we support the idea of giving creators a chance. Please submit as many pieces as you like; we won't turn anybody away for sending in more than five. To submit more than one entry, you must make a payment and repeat steps 1 through 3.
We make our decisions objectively, based only on the quality of our work. No portfolios, declarations, or previous involvement in the arts are necessary. No matter where they come from or what they've done in the past, all artists are given the same opportunities for gaining International art grants.
Be a part of our international group of artists from 118 countries and our many artistic endeavors. We accept artists from around the globe because we value the diversity that makes up the world.
Do something now to fulfill your creative potential. Sign up today for TERAVARNA's International Artist Grants 2026 and see your imagination soar.
