THE IDEA FUND

The Idea Fund is a re-granting program administered by DiverseWorks in partnership with Aurora Picture Show and Project Row Houses and funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The Idea Fund grants support innovative, experimental, public-facing projects by Houston artists and groups that expand our understanding of how art exists in the world.

The Idea Fund is one of 32 re-granting programs that provide grants for the creation and public presentation of new work. The Warhol Foundation’s Regional Regranting Program, launched in 2007 by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, aims to support artists whose work falls outside the scope of traditional presenting organizations and/or funding opportunities. The program reaches a sizable population of informal, non-incorporated artist collectives, and supports their alternative gathering spaces, publications, websites, events, and other projects. Together, this network of programs has funded more than 800 artists projects.
