2026 Visual Artist Showcase

The Levitate Foundation will award up to 10 emerging visual artists a $5,000 grant to support continued education—through higher education, a residency, or a retreat of their choosing—or to bring a self-directed passion project to life that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to pursue. In addition, selected artists will be featured in a central gallery at Levitate Music Festival 2026 and supported in exhibiting their work at partner galleries across our region.Artists will be selected by a panel of judges led by Levitate Foundation board member Thomas Deininger, and all expenses related to displaying and representing their work at Levitate Music Festival will be fully covered.To apply—or to nominate an emerging artist you believe in—simply share your work and what creating means to you using the form below by March 1, 2026
