AMCAW Grants & Awards Program

AMCAW is proud to announce our 2024 Grants & Awards Program. AMCAW developed this program to honor and recognize those who support the growth of our metal clay community. We are especially interested in supporting and encouraging those who help others advance their knowledge and skills as well as innovators who improve or create new products and methods available to metal clay artists everywhere.

AMCAW Grant Awards are available to members only; applications have now closed for 2024.

Grants & Awards of up to $500 are available in 3 categories:

Microgrants Publications and Multi-Media

Publications and MultiMedia

Do you spread the word and connect others to metal clay? We’d like to reward you for that! Spreading the word can take many forms: posting metal clay videos online; producing a metal clay podcast or online exhibition; writing articles about metal clay for a newsletter or for a magazine; authoring a book or exhibition catalog. If you’re doing any of these, you are working to promote metal clay and help educate others. Therefore, you are eligible for this award. Honoraria of up to $500 will be paid to selected applicants in 2024. This grant will be awarded to the most outstanding project. The selection process is not dependent on financial need.

Microgrants Innovation in Metal Clay

Innovation in Metal Clay

Are you a tinkerer—improving and/or creating new tools, applications or methods? A mad scientist who loves experimenting with materials and processes? We want to encourage, recognize, and support innovators working to improve products and methods available to our community. This grant will be awarded to the most innovative project. The selection process is not dependent on financial need.

Honoraria of up to $500 will be paid to successful selected applicants in 2024.
