Funding for Artists

We provide micro-grants to Charlottesville-area artists through community crowdfunding dinners (2013-current) and an emergency fund (2020-current).

Charlottesville SOUP

Charlottesville SOUP is a public community dinner series to create crowdfunded grants for artists in Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson.

Charlottesville Emergency Relief Fund for Artists

Inspired by Springboard for the Arts in Minneapolis, New City Arts and The Bridge launched an Emergency Relief Fund for Charlottesville-area artists, seed funded by The FUNd at CACF and program support from each organization during the COVID-19 pandemic.
