Martha Kate Thomas Fund for Artists

Online Application now open through June 15, 2018

Read the Guidelines before applying. Applications will be accepted through the online form only.

The Martha Kate Thomas Fund for Artists was established in 2013 through a legacy gift to the Community Foundation Serving Boulder County. Grants from this fund will be awarded to artists who live or work in Boulder County and who have unforeseen needs due to special circumstances.

In 2018, the funding priorities for the Martha Kate Thomas Fund for Artists have expanded to include artists and organizations that face systemic or historical inequities and so may require additional support in order for these barriers to be removed. In particular, emphasis is on the following priority groups:

Artists of Color
Artists with disabilities
Indigenous artists
New generation artists (18-30 years old)

Grant awards will not exceed $3000.

2018 Boulder Star Holiday Card

Her work brings charm and color to advertising, animation, magazines, books, packaging, and web. A background in fine art and design paired with the love of the outdoors, people, places, and adventure shines through her illustrative work.
