What We Fund

• Socially engaged projects that promote art as a catalyst for social change
• Projects that feature artists in leadership roles
• Dialogue-based projects that emphasize active and sustainable partnerships with communities
• Projects in which artists engage community members as equal partners on locally relevant issues, or globally relevant issues as they apply to the local context
• Projects in which co-creation with non-artists is part of the process
• We value process over product: relationship building and problem solving are key goals
• We provide funding with minimal restriction, and budget line items may include things like living expenses that are not direct project expenses
