Letters of inquiry concerning grants for exhibits

Letters of inquiry concerning grants for temporary exhibitions

We:

-- assist art museums, cultural centers and other organizations in furthering education, appreciation and understanding of American representational art via special/temporary exhibitions.

-- welcome a brief letter of inquiry.

The letter should:

-- explain how the exhibit's content aligns with our grant preferences.

-- include links to artists' websites.

-- describe how our grant will fit into the exhibit's funding needs.

Please let us know if you are seeking funding for a designated feature that will not be possible without restricted funding by a donor or donors in a timely manner, or if the entire exhibit is contingent on assembling restricted funds for it. Alternatively, please share if the exhibit will be held as planned without our support. In that case, our grant will compliment funding available from other sources. For example, the full cost for the exhibit may already be accounted for in the museum's general operating budget.

During 2026 we intend to be a minor co-sponsor of American representational art exhibitions at regional art museums. Pursuant to our review of a letter of inquiry, we will indicate a preliminary grant estimate if we are interested in co-sponsorship and further steps leading to our decision on funding.

We do not support capital projects.

Please email the letter to our president, John Hazeltine at johnphazeltine@gmail.com

Mr. Hazeltine wishes to be contacted directly at his personal email address for quickest access.
