Bonfils-Stanton Foundation and Hemera Foundation in partnership with RedLine
Contemporary Art Center are excited to announce that beginning August 10, 2016, we will join forces to launch a new collaborative grantmaking program: Arts in Society. Hemera Foundation and Bonfils-Stanton Foundation are funding the initiative that will be administered by RedLine. This program has an expressed mission to foster cross-sector work through the arts. Through this partnership we seek to build capacity for social practice projects that implement artistic excellence to engage social issues in the seven-county Denver Metro area.
The Arts in Society Program will be announced on August 10, 2016 during RedLine’s 48hrs of Socially-Engaged Art & Conversation Summit. Grants will be determined by a selection panel and will seek projects that best illustrate artistic excellence, broaden the understanding of the role arts play in society, demonstrate cross-sector work, exhibit cultural relevancy, foster community engagement, and present opportunities for shared learning.
Average grant sizes will range between $10,000 – $50,000 and will be awarded to 10-15 artists, arts organizations, or other nonprofit groups per year during the 2017-2018 two-year pilot period.
