Getting back in The Studio

My friends at Make Studio met with an artist last week who is interested in becoming a studio artist with us, as he is beginning to emerge from a prolonged illness and would like to work in a supported studio environment. He is currently in a power chair, but hopes to be returning to canes before too long. He has an MFA and is an oil painter and a printmaker. It seems his participation in the studio will need to be entirely grant funded or funded through a scholarship.

My questions are:
Would this be something that DORS/DVR would fund, since he trying to get a career back?

Would he be more successful, if he applied for artist grants?

What other type of grants could he apply for?

Thanks,
Dan
