*A handful of projects submitted to the art grant team were existing works of art and did not qualify for grant funding. (Our team funds the creation of NEW work for the event.) Those projects were forwarded to ArtHub’s other funding pool, Honorarium, for consideration, which specifically considers pre-existing work.
