[GUIDE] The Best Artist Grants & Opportunities in November 2025

Artwork Archive | October 9, 2025

Artist Thomas Flynn II's expansive studio space features an industrial loft setting with high white ceilings, exposed ductwork, and large windows overlooking brick buildings. The workspace is filled with botanical-inspired paintings on easels, including prominent pieces featuring green foliage and natural forms. Multiple work tables are covered with art supplies, papers, and materials in various stages of completion. Potted plants are scattered throughout the studio, creating a connection between the natural subject matter and the creative environment. Storage shelves along the walls hold additional supplies and artworks. The bright, organized space provides an ideal setting for creating large-scale contemporary paintings. Text overlay reads "ARTIST GRANTS & OPPORTUNITIES in November" in white letters on the right side of the image.

Each month Artwork Archive curates the best artist opportunities to help grow your art career.

Our November 2025 list has arrived, and it's packed with high-value listings that can move your art practice forward. You'll find: thoughtfully sourced grants and funding options, immersive residencies, coveted competitions, and open calls from galleries, museums, and organizations.

All opportunities have submission deadlines in November 2025, so you can plan your applications with plenty of time.

We know your focus belongs in the studio, not buried in opportunity research. That's why we hand-select and evaluate every listing from every corner of the art world.

Here's How to Make the Most of These Opportunities (And Safeguard Your Studio Time):

  • Sync deadlines directly to your Artwork Archive Schedule by clicking "Add to Schedule" below each listing.
  • Prepare your application materials early​ so you're not frantically assembling them during crunch time.
  • Transform your Artwork Archive into your submission headquarters to store reports, exhibition records, proposals, and application files—all organized and ready to go.

Pro tip: A clear, professional system gives you an edge. Let Artwork Archive be your advantage. A well-managed workflow creates a powerful professional impression and leads to winning applications.

Before clicking 'submit', explore our Guide to Landing Grants and Funding. It’s full of insights that can make your application stand out. For even better planning, our 2025 Opportunity Guide helps you to keep track of approaching deadlines before they sneak up. 

Your next big break might be waiting here. Browse the November artist opportunities by deadline, and check back often—new grants, residencies, and open calls are added throughout the month!
