One Curious World connects independent artists and musicians with grants, residencies, commissions, fellowships, and open calls across all 50 states. Curated without agenda. Free to access. Built to grow.
One Curious World began as a daily music curation project and a personal conviction: that independent artists deserve better infrastructure than they currently have. The Song of the Day is the editorial voice. The opportunity databases are the work.
This project is on a path toward becoming a registered not-for-profit, with the artist and musician opportunity indexes as its core public service. Organizations that list here now are part of building that foundation.
The overlooked is worth looking at. That applies to music and art. It applies to the people who make it.
One Curious World is building the most thorough state-by-state opportunity index for independent artists and musicians in the country. If your organization offers grants, residencies, commissions, open calls, or fellowships, submit here and we will add it to the database at no cost.
Every listing reaches artists who are actively looking. That is the only kind of artist who finds this page.
