Southern Exposure is pleased to announce the recipients of grants in Round V of our Alternative Exposure Grant Program. In this round Southern Exposure awarded $66,000 to 19 projects. With major support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Alternative Exposure offers direct support to Bay Area based unincorporated groups, burgeoning art and gathering spaces, publications, websites, collectives, events, and projects that fall outside the traditional frameworks of support.
