For your favorite comic artist-a grant deadline
Do you know a person who loves to draw and write comics? If so, they could get up to $5,000 to publish a comic book with this grant. The Xeric Foundation grant deadline is coming up. The grant must be received by March 31st, or they can wait until the next cycle.
This foundation was started by the creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, remember them? These generous creators have awarded over $2 Million in grants to worthy recipients. And some beautiful comic books and graphic novels have come out as a result. In a time when many funders are cutting back their arts gifts, it’s nice to see a foundation that is still committed to giving to individuals with a dream to publish their own comic book.
More than that, there are interviews with people who have gotten Xeric grants on their website, and it gives you tips on how to cut costs as you go through your first printing experience.
