They cannot support artists whose work focuses on the interpretation, performance, development, or production of the creative work of others.
- Artists must identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC).
- Applicants must be Louisiana residents for at least five consecutive years at the time of the application and throughout the grant period.
- Artists at any career stage may apply but must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application

For ensembles/collectives/collaboratives to apply, a majority of artists within the collective must meet all eligibility criteria independently, and the collective must have a demonstrated history of creating new work collectively and submit a single application, with funds shared equally. Artists may apply either as individuals or as collective members. Members of a collective may not apply for the same project individually.
