The Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant was created with the intention of providing ceramic sculpture artists, as well as sculptors working in various other mediums, the unique opportunity to dedicate an extended period of time to the development of their craft. Recognizing the importance of uninterrupted time for artists to focus on their work, the foundation’s mission has always been to support the artistic process by giving artists the space to experiment, create, and refine their ideas.

For over three decades, the Virginia A. Groot Foundation has been at the forefront of fostering artistic growth and innovation. By offering this valuable grant, the foundation has enabled countless artists to begin or expand their bodies of work, take risks in their creative process, and push the boundaries of their artistry. The support provided through the grant allows recipients to not only elevate their skill sets and refine their techniques but also to step into new territories of creativity and conceptual exploration.

The foundation’s long-standing commitment to the arts extends beyond just financial support. The grant creates a community of passionate, like-minded individuals who encourage and inspire each other to pursue their artistic dreams. This sense of shared purpose fosters a collaborative environment where artists can exchange ideas, motivate one another, and grow collectively in their pursuit of excellence. By empowering artists in this way, the Virginia A. Groot Foundation continues to play a pivotal role in helping sculptors reach their full artistic potential.
