Canvas UGC creator for an artist grant and residency app

The app helps working artists find grants, residencies and open calls, prepare applications, maintain an artist CV and track deadlines. Make short videos showing how it fits into a real artist's week.

Goal and audience

Help US visual artists understand the app and decide whether to download it. Focus on people already looking for exhibitions, grants or residencies, not on becoming famous or earning guaranteed income.

Key messages

• Find opportunities that fit your practice instead of searching across scattered tabs.
• Keep applications, your artist CV and deadlines in one place.
• AI-assisted application drafts are editable help, not a guarantee of acceptance.

Video ideas

• Show your usual pile of bookmarks, then find and save a relevant opportunity in the app.
• Walk through checking a residency's eligibility, fee and deadline. Explain why it fits or does not fit your practice.
• Show a weekly artist-admin routine: opportunities, CV and upcoming applications.
• Demonstrate editing an application draft in your own voice, with private portfolio details hidden.

Format and requirements

• Create 3 original videos per creator per paid week for 2 paid weeks, on the campaign's TikTok and Instagram platforms. Use English.
• Use vertical 9:16 video, under 30 seconds, with the real app visible for at least 3 seconds. Mix personal explanation, product demonstrations and simple tutorials.
• Speak naturally; these ideas are directions, not scripts. Only describe features you actually tried.
• The app is free to download with optional Premium. Unlimited opportunities, AI fit scans, application drafts, alerts and automatic reminders are listed as Premium features. Do not imply all features are free or promise a trial without checking eligibility.
• Check that any featured opportunity is still open. Do not promise grant awards, acceptance, career outcomes or application submission on the artist's behalf.
• Use your own footage and account. Avoid reposts, AI-generated testimonials, private documents and other people's artwork without permission.
• Disclose the paid relationship clearly using the platform's branded-content controls and a clear visible disclosure. End with a simple invitation to find the app on the App Store.

Payment and timing

This opportunity is performance-only under the campaign's displayed view-payment formula and milestone bonuses. There is no salary, base pay or retainer. Paid weeks begin on the Monday after the first creators are hired; applications and hiring happen before that.

Payment

Creators get performance payouts based on CPM rates applied per video: From 200 to 999,999 views, a rate of $0.50 / 1,000 views is paid. Applies to TikTok and Instagram only. Creators get bonus payouts applied per video. Unlocked tiers are aggregated. At least 50,000 views, cumulative bonus reaches $50.00. At least 100,000 views, cumulative bonus reaches $100.00.

Videos count toward performance payouts for 31 days after publication, including videos published before the payout period. The weekly limit is guaranteed. When your videos earn more than it in a week, the brand pays the rest separately, up to $1349.90 per video, once it has funded that amount. The campaign is funded week by week and can end after any week; views after the campaign ends are not paid.

Who should apply

Proposed criteria for owner review: creators must live in the United States and make English-language videos on their own TikTok or Instagram accounts. Prefer believable explanations and demonstrations relevant to visual artists applying for grants, residencies or exhibitions; a different current niche is acceptable when the audience and demonstration fit. Check audience-location evidence and interest in artist practice separately from residence; missing evidence needs clarification, not an assumed mismatch. Review available original videos for clear hooks, understandable screen demonstrations and personal delivery; ask for a sample if a portfolio is thin. No follower, earnings or historic view minimum. Exclude repost/clip accounts, impersonation, fabricated testimonials and guaranteed-grant or income claims. Every hire or rejection is a separate owner decision in Applications.
