The fund serves as an essential support structure to enable artists to expand existing work and explore new directions in creating and showcasing projects that inspire curiosity, engagement and dialogue. This year 516 ARTS will offer a total of $90,000 of funding through grants of up to $10,000 to support projects strongly rooted in contemporary visual art practices.This opportunity is intended to be a springboard for independent artistic processes that are experimental and forward thinking, while celebrating projects that are produced outside traditional museum and gallery systems.

One member of the group must have an American SSN to receive payment
