WORD Grant 2016: The Bruce Geller Memorial Prize

The WORD Grant, a project of American Jewish University’s Institute for
Jewish Creativity, supports artists creating projects that explore Jewish
ideas, themes, tradition, history, and identity. We believe in supporting a
contemporary, vibrant, Jewish cultural landscape in Los Angeles.

Applications are now open for our first round of funding and are due March
30th. We are pleased to support projects that approach Jewish culture from
a variety of perspectives, in terms of discipline, context and thematic
elements. Grants of $500-$2,000 will be given for the creation and/or
presentation of new work.
