ONE WORK – Open Call 

PROSPECT ART is a forward-thinking, Los Angeles-based artist-run organization that fosters artists’ careers by providing exposure through open dialogues, critical writing, project grants, and exhibitions. 


The organization was conceived during the 2020 pandemic. Prospect Art is looking towards a world of representation and equality by creating new opportunities for local, national, and international artists. The organization is structured as an agile, responsive entity to serve artists, the local Los Angeles community, and beyond by supporting existing and new works to be presented to the public. We’re interested in breaking down silos and sharing information and knowledge to further the careers of artists and forge new alliances with the community.

Prospect Art is looking for visual artists that require financial assistance to finish the production of new work. We are looking to support work by professional artists not currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program. The New Work program provides a $500 mini-grant twice a year to an individual artist or artists’ collective. A new project can be at any stage of completion, from initial concept to finishing touches in preparation for an exhibition. Project has to be completed within five months of disbursement.

This program supports artists locally, nationally, and internationally.
