Funding for Developing Artists

Recently I did a search for grants and funds available to artists. I specifically was searching for me, so some are catered towards film/video, dance, performance, installation art, and cultural studies. However, these programs could be for any artist in any field. It is vital to humanity that those who envision life through creative eyes strive to impact the world and people.

meaning of life disturbed

...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning, therefore:
...to die
...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
...nature taking its course (the wheel of time keeps on turning)
...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever (see nihilism)
...life may actually not exist, or may be illusory (see solipsism or nihilism)
...to contemplate "the meaning of the end of life"
