The Visual Arts Fund of Midway Contemporary Art awards grants to artist-organized projects in the Twin Cities region with support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Midway Contemporary Art has awarded Kieran Tverbakk and Northeast Minneapolis resident Witt Siasoco for their project PAIR (Pilot Artist in Residence). @midwayart PAIR
The Visual Arts Fund is a grant program established in 2016 by Midway Contemporary Art (which recently moved into the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District) with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Minneapolis–Saint Paul is one of thirty-two metro areas included in Warhol’s Regional Regranting Program, which is aimed at promoting vibrant artistic activity in cities across the United States. The VAF supports the development of projects and initiatives that engage the public with visual art and seeks to support a wide array of innovative and diverse projects that otherwise might not occur.
The Visual Arts Fund awarded $60,000 (six $10,000 grants) to artist organized projects in the Twin Cities metro region. Read about them all here. Proposals were required to name a lead organizer, but could include any number of artists as collaborators; individuals or groups could apply.
