Calling all Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Artists!
THE VALLEJO ARTS FUNDING MICROGRANT APPLICATION PERIOD IS OPEN!
Applications Due February 28, 2023, 3:00 pm
The Vallejo Arts Fund (VAF) emerged from listening sessions and convenings with Vallejoans and is grounded in the belief that the city’s art is urgent and that resources need to be prioritized for communities that have historically been excluded from these types of funding opportunities.
The Vallejo Arts Fund (VAF) will distribute $500,000 to support arts & culture in Vallejo by beginning to address structural inequities that have impacted BIPOC artists, culture bearers, arts organizers, and their communities. The Fund seeks to support artistic and cultural work within the performing, visual, digital, and media arts, as well as traditional folk art and oral/written storytelling. VAF deeply values the healing aspects of all art for artists and their communities.
INDIVIDUAL ARTIST MICROGRANT APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
- Due Tuesday, February 28, 2023, 3:00 pm
