Society6 is a new website for emerging and established artists from every creative discipline to showcase their talent as it unfolds. Artists join the online community which puts artists in touch with patrons offering grants.
Society6 has created an open grants system where individuals and organizations can easily issue money or opportunity (free products and services) grants to creative people from around the world. Artists and other creative people apply to these grants. The community nominates applicants to create the list of finalists. The grant giver chooses one applicant from the finalist list to award the grant.
