What is the Creative Work Fund?
The Creative Work Fund invites artists and nonprofit organizations to create new art works through collaborations. It celebrates the role of artists as problem solvers and the making of art as a profound contribution to intellectual inquiry and to the strengthening of communities. Artists are encouraged to collaborate with nonprofit organizations of all kinds.
Four principles guide the Fund:
- Artists’ creativity merits philanthropic support.
- Individual creativity is the source of cultural richness and diversity.
- The arts can be a powerful vehicle for problem solving and community renewal.
- Collaborative efforts among artists, organizations, and their constituents can generate a productive exchange of ideas and bring the arts to new audiences.
