Generator Series Projects (Due Nov. 9)
Generator Series Projects
Deadline: November 9th, 2025
Amplify’s Generator Series supports artist-led projects that champion exploration, foster collaboration, and invite participation. Up to three projects will be awarded budgets of $5,000 each to realize a 2026 Generator Series project.
Artists and organizers working in all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Well-researched projects that take place outside conventional art spaces will be favored. Applications for public installations, performances, workshops, screening series, and other types of public-facing work are welcome. Applicants working to better understand the ecologies, civic histories, and cultural values that shape our city are strongly encouraged to apply.
Eligibility
Any artist, artist collective, or collaborative group maintaining a residence within the Omaha/Council Bluffs Metro Areas including Washington, Douglas, Cass, Sarpy, and Saunders counties in Nebraska, and Pottawattamie, Mills, and Harrison counties in Iowa is eligible to apply.
Applicants must be at least 19 years old.
A formal education is not required to apply.
Each applicant may submit a maximum of three designs. Each design must be submitted as a separate application.
For collaborative groups
Submissions from artist collectives and collaborative groups are welcome. Collectives and collaborative groups are eligible if:
At least one member of the group meets the eligibility requirements outlined above.
The group is not incorporated into a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Members of the group are committed to working on a deeply collaborative level to advance the goals of the group, rather than those of the individuals within the group.
Collaborative groups should submit as a group and discuss the nature and duration of the collaboration in their Artist Statement.
Each collaborative may submit a maximum of three designs. Each design must be submitted as a separate application.
