Profes­sional devel­op­ment and special projects grants

This year the Furni­ture Society is pleased to offer four $2000 grants to support profes­sional devel­op­ment or special projects. Grant Recip­i­ents are asked to acknowl­edge the Furni­ture Society publicly in outcomes directly related to oppor­tu­ni­ties funded by an Educational Grant.

Profes­sional devel­op­ment grants support travel, registration/​tuition or other fees for work­shops, semi­nars, confer­ences, appren­tice­ships, resi­den­cies, first-time exhi­bi­tion at a craft/​art/​design show and any other oppor­tu­ni­ties that relate to the applicant’s career development.

Special project grants support exhi­bi­tions, semi­nars, visit­ing-artist programs and research related to the furni­ture field. (Thesis exhi­bi­tions are excluded.)

Grant Recipients

Congrat­u­la­tions to Michaela Crie Stone, Fabiano Serra, Jon Billing and Katie Ott, recip­i­ents of The Furni­ture Soci­ety’s 2018 Educa­tional Grant Awards.
