Emphasizing direct engagement with contemporary visual art, VIA Art Fund supports projects that exemplify the core values of artistic production, thought leadership, and public engagement, VIA–by way of–Art. Partnering directly with artists, curators, and cultural institutions worldwide, VIA Art Fund patrons support innovative artistic endeavors in various forms, from producing new work for exhibition and institutional acquisition to symposia, educational programs, publications, and scholarly journals.
To that end, VIA Art Fund invites applications for the fall 2023 cycle of its Artistic Production Grant program. Artistic Production grants fund the production and exhibition of new artistic commissions between $25,000 and $100,000. Often exhibited beyond museum walls in public spaces, these projects feature high levels of thought leadership, artistic production, and public engagement. Individual artists or producing organizations seeking production funding must have a confirmed exhibition venue or presenting partner.
Eligible applicants include artists, nonprofit organizations, cultural institutions, art production platforms, and biennials or festivals working in contemporary art in the United States and internationally.
Letters of inquiry are due May 18, 2023, and upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application, due July 13, 2023.
VIA Art Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit philanthropic arts organization founded by an international coalition of individuals and private foundations who believe in the central role art plays in society.
