Basic Information
Alternative Exposure grants directly fund visual arts projects that provide frameworks of support for artists to create and continue their work. Alternative Exposure is focused on supporting projects that present the work of more than one artist. Both individuals and groups are eligible to apply. If applying as a group, the artistic group or venue can be either long-standing or formed specifically for this opportunity.

Grant Amounts
Alternative Exposure will support projects at levels ranging from $500 to $5,000.

What Do We Mean By “Visual Arts”?
Alternative Exposure supports visual arts and projects strongly related to the visual arts. The work of media and performing arts are eligible when the visual arts are a central and essential element of the finished work. Southern Exposure is committed to new, diverse, and risk-taking forms of visual art and helping to define new practices. If you have questions about whether your project is eligible please attend one of the information sessions.
