Welcome Cuyahoga County Visual Artists, Cultural Producers, and Dreamers.
SPACES and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts present The Satellite Fund, an opportunity for artists to explore the very reaches of their discipline.
The Satellite Fund will provide grants of $6,000 each to 10 artists/artist collectives in 2023.
The Satellite Fund, administered by SPACES and supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, is an opportunity for Cuyahoga County artists, curators, and cultural producers to create a public visual art project in Cuyahoga County. This grant is not only for established visual artists in the community, but also for emerging artists, creative professionals, and any Cuyahoga County resident with a strong vision and demonstrated ability to complete the proposed project. The scope is purposefully broad; we want this opportunity to be as accessible and far-reaching as possible to ensure we represent Cuyahoga County to the fullest.
In addition to financial support, SPACES will provide access to our on-site artist workshops that is outfitted with tools and equipment to facilitate the production process. SPACES’ Artist Initiatives Coordinator will also assist grantees in securing a public display space (outside of SPACES) in Cuyahoga County. Additionally, awardees will receive a one-year SPACES Artist level Membership, which gives free access to networking and artist professional development opportunities throughout the year.
THE REGIONAL REGRANTING PROGRAM
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program aims to support vibrant, under-the-radar artistic activity by working with leading cultural institutions in communities across the country. The program allows the Foundation to reach the sizable population of informal, non-incorporated artist collectives and to support their alternative gathering spaces, publications, websites, events, and other projects. The Foundation plans to expand this program with partner organizations in areas where the level of on-the-ground, self-organized artistic activity is highest.
The 16 regranting programs provide grants of up to $10,000 for the creation and public presentation of new work. Together the programs have funded over 800 projects over 11 years.
