Fine Arts Venture Fund
First awarded in 2014, the PAFA Fine Arts Venture Fund engages current students in the grant-making process, many for the first time. Participants learn to develop a project proposal, craft a detailed budget, and, for semi-finalists, present a compelling case for support to a panel of business experts. PAFA has awarded students more than $270,000 through the Fine Arts Venture Fund.
How to Apply
Potential Venture Fund recipients submit proposals with a budget breakdown of their funding request, along with their resume and images of their work, which is then reviewed by the Venture Fund board.
Presenting to a panel of people who work in business and not the arts teaches students different communication skills.
