Description
The Vallejo Artists Mutual Fund, administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, is a community-driven grant program supporting individual artists and cultural leaders in Vallejo, California. Unlike traditional, outsider-juried grantmaking, this fund uses a peer referral process, empowering local artists and culture bearers to identify and uplift those making meaningful contributions to Vallejo’s arts and culture ecosystem. Grants are unrestricted and honorific, intended to sustain and enrich the city’s creative community by circulating financial resources locally and fostering mutual support among participants.
