We aim to fuel diverse artistic practices, innovative explorations of timely issues and deep processes of community engagement. The collaboration between artists and nonprofits is central to co-creating energized public spaces with each community. The temporary nature of their projects emboldens artists, and working in the public realm allows them to reach broader audiences.<\/p>\n Our inaugural round of Open Spaces Program awards<\/a><\/strong> in January totaled $400,000. Community meals, networked sound sculptures and aerial dance performances addressed resilience in communities of color, climate change and neighborhood transformation.<\/p>\n For our second round, we selected ten finalists<\/a><\/strong> in September, reflecting a wide interplay of artistic practices and issues. Each finalist received a grant of $5,000 to further develop their proposal. In addition to funding, the Foundation also hosts a symposium<\/strong><\/a> and workshops for artists to gain inspiration, knowledge and skills for working in public art.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” prev_background_color=”#000000″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”|50px|0px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”|20px|0px|20px” custom_padding_phone=”|10px|0px|10px” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” module_class=”quote” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.105″]<\/p>\n “On the blocks where we\u2019re setting tables, people are being displaced.

In 2017, our Impact Program awarded $405,000 to three arts organizations for multi-year capacity-building. These and previous grantees have achieved important short-term outcomes. But attaining true sustainability is an enduring challenge for many organizations. We put this program on hold in April as we embarked on a new strategic planning process that will explore leading edge support systems for artists.<\/p>\n In July, we welcomed Ted Russell as Associate Director of Arts Strategy and Ventures<\/a>.<\/strong> Adding Russell\u2019s decades of expertise to the Arts team was timely. His deep understanding of the arts ecosystem has been instrumental to analyzing strategies for supporting visionary artists and organizations.<\/p>\n Accelerating technological and economic change has defied conventional understanding of best practices, and created systemic challenges to nonprofit vitality. Many small to mid-size arts nonprofits are stymied in their quest to remain financially stable or grow. Our year-long strategic investigation revealed three problem-solving touchstones:<\/p>\n Stay tuned for a 2018-2021 strategy snapshot coming in Spring 2018.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”|50px|0px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”|20px|0px|20px” custom_padding_phone=”|10px|0px|10px” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” module_class=”quote” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.105″]<\/p>\n “The Impact Program created a place where we as artists felt safe, open, and honest to share the reality of our organizations.
