Connecting Artists of Social Change with Funders of Social Change.

About Now Art Grants

VISIT our main page.


General funding for Now Art Grants is on temporary hiatus. We are hoping to re-open the program in the Autumn of 2010.

This network will remain active so that artists and funders can take the initiative to connect on their own to create valuable funded art projects that make people think and feel.

Find an artist to support by clicking on their profile.


Now Art is a mentality
that art must be current, accessible and an agent of dialogue and social change. Now Art is immediate, accessible, participatory, low-cost, and deals with current issues that we face as a community/society.

Now Art holds that the primary role and responsibility of art is to mirror the dilemmas of society to its citizens, offering a catalyst for change and development; evolves as society evolves; values the artist's use of a wide range of media; integrates contemporary and emerging technologies; prizes the power of individuals to effect change, discarding divisions between personal and political; honors and engages the work of its predecessors, recognizing that art builds upon art.
 

Now Art Criteria

To qualify as Now Art the artist/art must:
· Take place outside of a gallery or limited-access space.
· Engage a wide audience in a dialogue about a current social issue.
· Have a component that delivers an aspect of the art directly to those who have funded it.
