ATLANTA - eMusicWire -- The National Black Arts Festival (NBAF) is thrilled to announce the launch of its 5th cohort for the Artist Project Fund in January 2025. This impactful initiative supports 20 multi-disciplinary artists over six months, offering immersive artistic and career development opportunities to help participants grow as creative entrepreneurs.
NBAF is proud to once again partner with Bank of America, a key supporter of the Artist Project Fund. This vital grant and development program provides Metro Atlanta artists with the capital needed to complete ongoing projects, helping them thrive in today's competitive landscape.
Bank of America has been a steadfast supporter of the Artist Project Fund for the past three years, working alongside NBAF to help drive economic mobility for Atlanta's most vulnerable communities.

"Partnering with the National Black Arts Festival demonstrates how Bank of America is taking action to provide the resources and support needed to help Atlanta thrive," said Al McRae, president, Bank of America Atlanta. "These funds build upon our longstanding efforts to help provide access to art and culture that offer social and education benefits for the region."
"As artists, we're often deeply focused on the work itself," said Stephanie Owens, Executive Director of NBAF. "But we also recognize that without the financial skills to manage and grow our careers, many brilliant artists may struggle to sustain their practice. Thanks to this continued partnership with Bank of America, we can offer more than just grants—we provide the financial training and resources needed for these artists to truly thrive."
The conclusion of the 2024 cohort in September marked four years of the Artist Project Fund's existence. During this time, NBAF has awarded nearly $200,000 in grants, empowering artists to realize their creative visions. With Bank of America's renewed support, the 2025 program will continue this legacy, and NBAF is excited to open the application period in January.
