Fertile Ground Festival
About GROW Grants
First introduced for the 2021 Fertile Ground Festival (presented digitally), the GROW Grant program seeks to broaden the range of artists and work in the Festival by providing direct support to Festival participants producing underrepresented voices, stories, and perspectives.
All GROW Grant recipients will have their Festival registration either waived or reimbursed, and may receive additional funding up to $500. Grant recipients will be identified in Festival marketing materials and social media.
GROW Grants are adjudicated by a diverse panel of independent artists from a variety of disciplines. This year’s panel includes: Ki Ridenour-Starnes (chair), James Dixon, Tess Raunig, Ashley Song, Michael Cavazos, Jane Comer, Heath Hyun Houghton, Yasmin Ruvalcaba, and Sarah Andrews
