Created in 1993 to further FCA’s mission to encourage, sponsor, and promote work of a contemporary, experimental nature, Emergency Grants provide urgent funding for visual and performing artists who: have sudden, unanticipated opportunities to present their work to the public when there is insufficient time to seek other sources of funding; incur unexpected or unbudgeted expenses for projects close to completion with committed exhibition or performance dates.

Our mission is to support experimental artistic practices. Learn more.
