FCA depends on artists to fund its programs; to date, over 1,000 artists have contributed paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, performances, and videos to help fund grant programs that directly support individual artists working in dance, music/sound, performance art/theater, poetry, and the visual arts. Thus, FCA remains the only institution of its kind: created and sustained by artists to benefit artists.FCA supports and encourages artists who continually redefine experimentality and who challenge us to think deeply about the world. We are dedicated to dialogue, inquiry, and equity actions with our artist community in an ongoing effort to ensure a diversity of thought and experience within our organization and in our grant-making. FCA supports artists of intersecting identities including but not limited to ability, age, gender, geography, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. We are committed to ongoing evaluation of FCA’s policies and practices as we continue to strengthen the anti-racist ethos of our organization. FCA will allocate the resources necessary to embody this goal in our programs, grant-making, board and staff recruitment, and institutional culture.
