The Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grants Available
The Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grants Available
The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant program is designed to provide interim financial assistance to qualified painters, printmakers, and sculptors whose needs result from an unforeseen, catastrophic incident and who lack the resources to address that situation.
Each grant is provided as one-time assistance for a specific emergency, such as a fire, flood, or emergency medical need.
This program has no deadlines.
The program does not consider requests for dental work, chronic medical conditions, capital improvements, or any other type of project; nor can it consider situations resulting from general indebtedness or unemployment.
The maximum amount of this grant is $15,000; a typical award is $5,000.
Applicants should be aware that this is a grant program, and each application is considered on its merits within the program’s criteria. While we strive to assist as many applicants as possible, applying does not, nor should it be perceived as, a guarantee of funding.
Eligibility
To be eligible for this program, an artist must demonstrate a minimum of ten years of involvement in a mature phase of their work. Artists must work in one of the following disciplines: painting, sculpture, or printmaking. Each application will be reviewed by the directors, who will exercise their discretion in considering it, and will determine the amount of each award. Applicants should note that a set amount is appropriated for these grants each fiscal year; once this budgetary limit has been reached, the Foundation will not be able to consider any additional requests on their merits.
Second-party requests are honoured only when the applicant is physically unable to communicate with the Foundation. Review procedures for completed applications begin as soon as they are received. A full review generally takes about four weeks from the time an application is complete. Situations with imminent deadlines will receive priority.

Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus.
