The call for proposals for the  Vital Signs: Creative Arts for Black Lives Mini-Grants is open for the 2022-23 academic year! Both Black-identifying and non-Black-identifying creators may apply. Students of all forms and levels of artistic experience are welcome, and applicants do not need to be affiliated with a student organization.

These mini-grants are awarded each semester to artists in the UMD community who are creating projects that affirm Black life and vitality and interrogate white supremacy and anti-Blackness. Mini-grant funds are intended to support costs associated with the development of these projects.

For questions about Vital Signs mini-grants, please contact Tyler Clifford, Senior Artistic Planning Coordinator, at tylerc@umd.edu.

Apply for a Vital Signs mini-grant by Sunday, Oct. 23 at 11:59 PM ET.
