The Elgas Project Grants support degree-seeking undergraduate art majors by providing financial support for independent creative research projects. Supported projects will receive funding up to $750.00 based on the quality of applications submitted and funding availability. All work supported by an Elgas Project Grant must be exhibited in a public gallery. Acceptable venues include the MEDICI Gallery and the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery. Alternative spaces are also acceptable.

Proposal Requirements:

  • A typed brief project statement (300-500 words) including a description of the project, the significance of the project and how you will share this project with the university community (dates, location and title of the exhibition).
  • A clear budget for the proposed project that includes an itemized list of the materials and how they will be used.
  • 5-10 images of work submitted in jpeg format.
  • A resume including exhibitions, awards and involvement in school/college when applicable.
