PLATFORMS FUND IS OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS MAY 1st-31st, 2026

Project grants of $10,000 and research grants of $1500 are awarded annually to New Orleans based individuals,collectives, and collaborative art groups in support of new and innovative artistic commissions that take place outside the museum or gallery walls, within the public realm, or in a non-traditional exhibition environment. Grants are awarded to projects that best exemplify an attention to the histories, communities, and ecologies of the region and their (trans)national implications, while reimagining visual artmaking for social change. The Platforms Fund is a collaborative effort of Antenna, Ashé Cultural Art Center, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
