Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

VAE produces, funds, and exhibits socially-engaged art through community collaboration.

  • VAE provides direct support to artists chiefly through its largest funding initiative The Snapdragon Fund, a regional regranting program made possible through funding from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The fund provides 60,000 of funding for individual artists each year. This funding is split across 3 categories 8 project grants of 5,000 5 research grants of 2,000 and 20 micro grants of 500. VAEs fiscal sponsorship program allows the Organization to support individual artists and unincorporated artists groups through the provision of grant and donation-based fundraising opportunites under the Organizations nonprofit umbrella, as well as assitance in the management of their finances. The Orrganization is responsible for collecting funds restricted to the project and disbursing them in accordance with the projects approved guidelines.

    Expenses $203,821

  • VAE organizes the bulk of its programming into large-scale projects that include exhibitions and community events. These projects focus on highlighting the creative contributions of people who are often marginalized from the contemporary art world and building trust with new communities. VAE produces between 6 and 20 exhibitions each year, displaying works from a growing array of contemporary artists. In addition to the Organizations main galleries in their flagship location, the Organization also hosts exhibitions in a collection of community exhibition spaces across the greater Triangle.
