Arts & Culture Request for Proposal
The arts inhabit a vital and indispensable part of South Florida’s LGBTQ community, not just to inspire, but to build bridges in connection and understanding. As we enter with resilience and many lessons learned, that vital role that our arts organizations play is more apparent than ever. Our Fund Foundation seeks to continue supporting that valuable contribution with grants from the LGBTQ Arts & Culture Fund. With this application, Our Fund is asking arts and culture organizations to propose projects that can re-engage with audiences and stakeholders. Projects should aim to incorporate and build upon strategies devised during uncertain times, while looking toward a path to resilience and sustainability in a changed cultural landscape of both challenges and opportunities.
