ABOUT ANTENNA’S MICROGRANTS::Since July 2024, Antenna has piloted a biannual micro grant program to provide artists, writers, book artists and culture bearers with resources in support of their artistic practices. As a community arts institution, we believe in making our resources more accessible to alleviate some of the financial burdens artists face.We welcome your feedback as we continue to refine this funding opportunity.
