VIA Art Fund’s Incubator Grant Program has come to a close.
From 2013 to 2018, VIA Art Fund supported the work of emerging arts nonprofits through its Incubator Grant Program. From 2019 to 2023, VIA and Wagner Foundation partnered on a five-year, $1 million VIA | Wagner Incubator Grant Fund, which supported the building of a robust and inclusive national arts ecosystem. The program awarded unrestricted general operating support to twenty-five small-scale nonprofit arts organizations throughout the United States. The five-year VIA | Wagner Incubator Grant program was successfully completed in 2023.
