BBCF is sharing along this time sensitive information c/o the Verdant Fund to our arts community in the hopes that it will find those visual artists who are in need of help. If this information is not immediately helpful to you, we ask that you please forward to your network of visual arts friends who may find it helpful. Thank you!
The Verdant Fund is a collaborative effort of the Alabama Contemporary Art Center, Coleman Center for the Arts, and Space One Eleven in partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. $60,000 in emergency grants will be distributed to Alabama artists affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund, initiated in response to the health and financial crisis, will award sixty grants of $1,000 each to visual and interdisciplinary artists living and working in Alabama for the last two years.
Emergency relief grants are for independent, professional visual artists who make some or all of their living from their art practice and have lost income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding is for basic living expenses such as rent, utilities, groceries, child care, and medical bills.
