Artist Grant (formerly DRABL Artist Grant) is a yearly programme providing unrestricted financial support to artists worldwide.

For 2026, £12,000 will be distributed. Six £2000 grants will be awarded to six individuals, providing a financial boost to further their artistic practice. A panel of ten judges will decide the successful applicants by popular vote. Applications for the Artist Grant 2026 will be open for two weeks from June 17th to July 1st (at 23:59 BST) or until 1500 applications are received.

In its fifth iteration, Artist Grant is designed to have as few barriers to entry as possible: open to anyone who considers themselves as having a fine art practice. This includes but is not limited to: painters, sculptors, video artists, performance artists, installation artists, sound artists and photographers. Applicants need no formal training or education to apply. Factors of age, locality, gender and ethnicity will be considered to ensure equal opportunities.
