Some opportunities may require an application fee, so we recommend reviewing the fine print to ensure you're comfortable with the listed conditions. If the fee is a barrier, check to see if the organization offers waivers or scholarships. We also advocate for artists not to be required to do unpaid labor before applying for opportunities, so we encourage you to check all guidelines before deciding to submit.
