The Civilian Production Fund is a new non-profit initiative of the gallery to support art projects and exhibitions that would not otherwise have funding. The fund will support innovative projects such as socially aware video installations, pubic art projects, publications, exhibitions, and other innovative ideas. The CPF will be governed by a Board of Directors and supported by its Council of Donors.
Throughout the summer, Civilian staff will fine tune the structure of the fund and invite people to join its Council of Donors with a donation of $100 and above. Council members will vote on projects twice per year in consideration for support from the Fund. Projects nominated for support by the fund will be done so anonymously. Artists cannot apply for support, they must be nominated by Council members who are citizens living and working in the community. Support will be given in modest amounts to support artist projects that would not otherwise be realized.
The Fund will begin supporting projects in fall 2009.
