This application-based program is open to organizations that have previously been awarded an Artist Choice award.

Each year, a relevant theme frames the grant questions. In 2022, the program was shaped by three organizing categories: how artists live, make, and are remembered. In 2023, organizations were asked: What can be transformed when we ask what we want to keep, what we can lose, and what we want to grow? For 2024, organizations were asked to respond to a series of prompts relating to the year’s guiding question: How can improvisation, irresolution, and relationality guide us toward a collective future?

The annual program grants $50,000 in operational support; applications are initially reviewed by a rotating group of readers working across disciplines and regions.
