Current USArtists International Grantees

2025 USArtists International Spring Round
Recommended Grantees 

The list below includes the artists recommended for funding from the Spring 2025 round of USArtists International (USAI). Due to the funding termination notice Mid Atlantic Arts received from the National Endowment for the Arts in May of 2025 which cancelled federal support for this program year, not all of the artists below were able to receive USAI funding. We share their names here to highlight their selection through this competitive grant process.
