D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) Art Bank Program: Call for Artists

The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) is currently requesting applications from qualified local visual artists (legal residents of Washington, DC and those within a 50 mile radius of Washington, DC) and District nonprofit art galleries or organizations for its Fiscal Year 2025 Art Bank Program.

Award amounts vary but eligible individual applicants may be awarded up to $15,000 and nonprofit art galleries or organizational applicants may be awarded up to $20,000.

Art Bank Program:

In support of local visual artists, District art galleries, and art nonprofit organizations, CAH acquires fine art. The ongoing and annual acquisition of art from metropolitan artists becomes a part of the Art Bank Collection. CAH manages artwork in the collection. It is then loaned to District Government agencies for display in public areas and offices of government buildings. The Art Bank Collection, which started in 1986, has nearly 3,000 artworks.
