Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure grant program seeks to fuel the energy of the local visual arts community by supporting the vibrant artistic activity that occurs on the ground level – the collective, collaborative communities artists have formed for decades. Alternative Exposure grants provide direct support to projects that contribute to their communities and provide frameworks of support for artists to create and continue their work.
Alternative Exposure facilitates monetary awards to artists or groups of artists making and presenting work in a committed but informal way. It provides support to the work of unincorporated groups, burgeoning art venues and gathering spaces, publications, collectives, and events. Projects can include an exhibition or exhibition series, a public art project, a one time event or performance, the ongoing work of a venue or collective, the publication of writing directly related to the visual arts, an online project or publication, an artist residency, a series of screenings, and more. It seeks to support the public presentation of new work with the resulting project activities accessible and presented to the public.
