The Open Fund is administered by two Wisconsin artist-run spaces, The Poor Farm and The Open. The Open Fund Artist Project Grant will award twelve $5,000 grants to artist-organized projects in Milwaukee County. The Open Fund Artist Project Grant will support visual artist initiatives that are experimental and public oriented. This will include wide-reaching and innovative projects that are unique to communities and the culture at large including: the presentation of creative and experimental work via film screenings, exhibition series, pop-up presentations, zines and media, sound installations, broadcast work, educational models, and civic sites in addition to other inventive models of artistic engagements.
