Details:
Hoʻākea Source is a Regional Regranting Program Partner of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The Regional Regranting Program partners with local arts organizations around the country to make grants to artists and collectives for projects that chart new creative territory in their communities.
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program aims to support vibrant, under-the-radar artistic activity by partnering with leading cultural institutions in communities across the country. The program allows the Foundation to reach the sizable population of informal, non-incorporated artist collectives and to support their alternative gathering spaces, publications, websites, events and other projects. The Foundation plans to expand this program with partner organizations in areas where the level of on-the-ground, self-organized artistic activity is highest.
Funding Information
Hoʻākea Source will award six to twelve grants, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, to selected projects. In the inaugural two-year grant period, they will prioritize visual artists, collaboratives, and collectives living and working across the island of Oʻahu. In the case of collaboratives and collectives, some contributors may live off island, but the lead applicant must live and work on Oʻahu. Applications from members of historically marginalized communities that serve all of Hawai‘i’s people are especially encouraged. Total award monies distributed will be $60,000 per year.
Review Criteria
All proposals will be considered based on the following criteria. Proposed Research and Projects should speak directly to one or more of the following three strategic priorities:
- ʻĀina (That which feeds): Proposals that are rooted in place; proposals that center love and/or stewardship of land, sky, and sea.
- Pilina (Relationality): Proposals that build meaningful relationships; proposals that weave past, present and future together through emerging and/or sustained commitment to groups, collaborations, and/or collectives.
- Huli (Change): Proposals that affirm a (k)new way of being; proposals that advance more just futures and/or contribute to systemic transformation.
A successful application will:
- Speak directly to what the proposal is, who it involves, and which of the three strategic priorities it most closely aligns with and why.
- Situate an artistic practice within a larger visual arts genealogy of Hawaiʻi.
- Demonstrate a capacity to realize the project on time and within budget.
- Explain how the public would engage with the project with an emphasis on non-conventional exhibition spaces.
- Describe the potential impact on a local community and the larger arts and culture landscape of Hawaiʻi.
