Description
The Vallejo Artists Mutual Fund supports Vallejo-based individual artists, cultural leaders, and arts organizations through a peer-nomination process that empowers the local creative community. Rather than relying on external juries, the Fund enables artists to refer and honor others whose work meaningfully contributes to Vallejo’s arts and culture ecosystem. Grants are unrestricted, intended to foster mutual support, deepen local connections, and circulate resources within Vallejo’s creative sector. The program is administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
