Southern Exposure is committed to continuing to serve as a resource for the independent visual arts community through Alternative Exposure and our other programs. Launched in 2007, Alternative Exposure was the first in a now newly established national network of regional re-granting programs supported by the Warhol Foundation, including initiatives in Houston, TX; Chicago, IL; and Kansas City, MO, in addition to San Francisco, CA.

Generous lead support for Alternative Exposure is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support is provided by Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.
