Visual Arts Fund: Empowering Queer Art in Public Spaces
Our Visual Arts Fund is dedicated to transforming public and private spaces through vibrant murals that celebrate and reflect the diverse experiences of the queer community in the Bay Area. By supporting the creation of both indoor and outdoor murals, this fund not only beautifies the urban landscape but also provides a platform for queer voices to be visually and powerfully heard.
Our Mission
We aim to enrich the cultural fabric of the Bay Area by funding dynamic art projects that are accessible to all and reflective of the LGBTQ+ community's artistic heritage and contemporary experiences. We seek to promote visibility, dialogue, and pride within the community and among the broader public.
Supporting Local Talent
The Visual Arts Fund prioritizes the involvement of local queer artists, offering them both the canvas and the opportunity to showcase their creativity and perspectives. By engaging artists who embody the spirit and diversity of the Bay Area, the fund not only supports their professional growth but also ensures authentic representation in the art it helps produce.
Collaboration and Community Engagement
Collaboration is at the heart of our funding approach. We partner with local businesses, cultural districts, and community organizations to ensure that each mural project is a reflection of communal aspirations and contributes positively to the neighborhood's identity. These partnerships help foster a sense of community ownership and pride, further amplifying the impact of each artwork.
