\Art awards a major $100k grant each year to a practicing NYC-based artist and two Cornell Tech graduates to collaborate full-time on a significant work of art that uses bleeding edge digital technology to provoke novel opportunities for their work.
\Art awards $500 Microgrants on a rolling basis to assist current Cornell University students pursuing art works, art tools, or other art activities that use emerging digital technologies.
