Debra I. Moore Grant for the Arts
The Debra I. Moore Grant for the Arts supports cis, trans, and queer-identifying lesbian artists working in any medium or genre, including visual artists, sculptors, musicians, writers, filmmakers, playwrights, performance artists, designers, and others. The L-Fund at The Center is particularly interested in supporting a diverse community of lesbian artists.
Applicants must reside in the Coachella Valley or surrounding area.
Named after artist, filmmaker, philanthropist, and The L-Fund supporter Debra I. Moore, the grant programs supports projects that advance a future in which lesbians, in all their diversity, are free and openly able to express the full range of their talents, identities, and potential.
We recognize the arts as a unique and powerful conduit through which to realize this vision. After all, art, in all its varied forms, is defined by its unique capacity to push us beyond the conditions of the present, the mundane, and the conventional, and to inspire within us a renewed understanding of our shared human condition.
