Sharing a great grant opportunity from the Collective Futures Fund:

 

 

Applications are now open for the 2026 Collective Futures Fund (CFF) grant cycle. As a Regional Regranting Program of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts administered by the Tufts University Art Galleries. Grants are generously supported by the Warhol Foundation, the Barr Foundation, and an anonymous donor. Thanks to the generosity of our funders, CFF grants have increased to $3,000 for Sustaining Practice grants and $8,000 for New Projects and Ongoing Platforms grants. CFF directly supports visual artists, curators, and writers in producing collaborative and public projects that engage in risk-taking and experimentation. Please encourage artists in your community to apply.

 

Grants are available in three tiers: 

 

Sustaining Practice: Grants offered at $3,000 each geared toward emerging individual artists and collaborators who need critical support for research, to develop new projects and future ideas, and sustain themselves in the process. 

 

New Projects: $8,000 for the creation and public presentation of new projects by visual artists, curators, or collectives.

 

Ongoing Platforms: $8,000 to support sustaining or the completion of long-term projects. 

 

For more information, eligibility, timeline, FAQs, and how to access our application, please check out our website.

 

Application deadline: May 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM
