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. Alternative Exposure grants provide direct support, up to $3,000, to individuals and groups working in the visual arts to create frameworks of support for other artists working and presenting work in our communities.
