Funding for Artists

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

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.

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.
