Idea Capital is investigating a support structure to encourage new ideas in art production across all genres of the arts; including visual, dance, literary, performance, new media, music, critical writing, film, and video. The grant is to encourage experimentation and investigation with funds designed to give artists permission to pursue new ideas.
Idea Capital pools resources from throughout the arts community to provide direct monetary support for Atlanta artists and performers. The more tax-deductible donations we receive, the more grants we can award. In our first year, we have granted $2250 to area artists. Read more in our 2008 press release.
Emerging artists, as well as established artists and cultural workers, are encouraged to apply for these funds. We are seeking exciting ideas that foster a culture of change and create dialogue.
Idea Capital was founded in 2008 by Susan Todd-Raque, Stuart Keeler, Pam Rogers, Louise Shaw, and Cinqué Hicks.
