funding artists at pivotal moments
The Pivotal Fund provided direct financial support to artists for their creative practice and funded their most ambitious ideas.
The Pivotal Fund provided annual grants to self-identifying visual artists in Alamance, Chatham, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange, Randolph, and Wake counties of North Carolina. This region is well-primed for significant investment in the individual artists that make up our creative community. This fund was designed to support artists who also exist in the geographical and creative margins and whose contributions to our burgeoning creative culture have historically been overlooked and under-resourced.
The Pivotal Fund was made possible through the Andy Warhol Foundation’s Regional Re-Granting Program.
The Regional Re-granting Program was established in 2007 to recognize and support the movement of independently organized, public-facing, artist-centered activity that animates local and regional art scenes but that lie beyond the reach of traditional funding sources.
The program is administered by non-profit visual art centers across the United States that work in partnership with the Foundation to fund artists’ experimental projects and collaborative undertakings.
