New Works / Projects (Up to $6,000) to support the creation and public presentation of new works / projects

Ongoing Platforms (Up to $6,000) for sustaining and supporting the completion of long-term or ongoing projects

Questions? Not sure if your project fits? Meet with Ariel Baez, Program Coordinator, by zoom or phone during open office hours (30 minute sessions are available on Tuesdays & Thursdays between 2 – 4:30 PM).

Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 22 at 12 PM ET, Now + There and Goethe-Institut will host an online panel about the economics of memorials, featuring TUAG Curator and CFF Program Director, Abigail Satinsky.

“As the Take Down movement continues, we also see calls for new monuments and memorials that make visible the erasure of peoples and communities. With more democratic design processes, and amplification of Black, Brown, and Indigenous experiences, are funding structures similarly shifting? What does the funding of memorials mean for restoring justice within the arts and built environment?

A conversation with curators Kathrin Jentjens and Abigail Satinsky, moderated by Devin Morris of the Teacher’s Lounge, this panel will bring local, national, and international perspectives together.”
