We are excited to share these tips and takeaways from our 2026 Queer|Art Mock Panels!
The aim of our mock panel workshop series is to help our community of artists sharpen their skills in submitting applications and project proposals by going through that process in a trial environment. Artists submit materials as if they were applying for an opportunity (a grant, a residency, etc.) and get 10 minutes of dedicated feedback on their submission.
The following resources are organized chronologically and include grants, fellowships, residencies, and other opportunities for artists with deadlines in July, August, and September. There are opportunities for visual artists, filmmakers, writers, poets, performers, curators, and more. The resources are arranged chronologically by their submission deadline.
