Grants
Platforms Fund Grants for Arts Projects
The Platforms Fund is a collaborative effort of Antenna, Ashé Cultural Art Center, Junebug Productions and the Andy Warhol Foundation. The Andy Warhol Foundation Regional Regranting Program was established in 2007 to recognize and support the movement of independently organized, public-facing, artist-centered activity that animates local and regional art scenes but that lies beyond the reach of traditional funding sources. The program is administered by non-profit visual art centers across the United States that work in partnership with the Foundation to fund artists’ experimental projects and collaborative undertakings.

Discretionary Grants
Through this program, we invite artists, writers, and culture bearers from all backgrounds and disciplines to apply for funding to cover the costs of materials and printing associated with their projects. Whether it’s the purchase of canvases and paints, printing of manuscripts, production of promotional materials, or any other necessary expenses, we’re here to provide assistance.
