Can I apply for the Kindling fund?

Artists, curators, collectives, partnerships, arts writers, and artist-run spaces located in Maine are eligible to apply. 

Artists who were funded in the previous year or who have received $15,000 in support from the Kindling Fund over their lifetime, students, incorporated 501(c)3 not-for-profit organizations or artists living outside of Maine are not eligible to apply. Grantees who have failed to complete their project by deadline as outlined in their application are not eligible to apply. Previous grantees who have filed to submit a final report are not eligible to apply until they have submitted all necessary paperwork.
