PLATFORMS FUND
ART: ENGAGEMENT: CHANGE MAKING

The Platforms Fund is a collaborative effort of Antenna, Ashé Cultural Art Center, Junebug Productions, The Black School, and the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Project grants of up to $10,000 and research grants of  $1500 are awarded annually to New Orleans-based individual and collective artists, and collaborative art groups in support of new and innovative artistic commissions that take place outside the museum or gallery walls, within the public realm, or in a non-traditional exhibition environment.

Grants are awarded to projects that best exemplify an attention to the histories, communities, and ecologies of the region and their (trans)national implications, while reimagining visual artmaking for social change.

Please read the full guidelines before completing your application to determine eligibility. 

Updates for the 2024-25 Platforms Fund coming soon!
