Description
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program partners with local arts organizations to support artists and collectives whose projects chart new creative territory in their communities. Established in 2007, the network is active in 41 cities and regions. Each partner develops its own program around its region’s needs and artistic identity, rather than following a uniform funding model.
The program supports independently organized, artist-centered activity beyond the reach of traditional presenting organizations or funding opportunities. Public-facing experimentation is central: supported projects have included queer zines, living room galleries, radical seafaring events, and virtual reality film screenings. Regional programs support independent platforms, collaborative projects, and new ways of connecting artists with communities.
