Organizations Filed Purposes: A BLADE OF GRASS FUND NURTURES SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART. WE PROVIDE RESOURCES TO ARTISTS WHO DEMONSTRATE ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE AND SERVE AS INNOVATIVE CONDUITS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE. WE EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF WORK IN THIS EVOLVING FIELD BY FOSTERING AN INCLUSIVE, PRACTICAL DISCOURSE ABOUT THE AESTHETICS, FUNCTION, ETHICS, AND MEANING OF SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART THAT RESONATES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE CONTEMPORARY ART DIALOGUE.

A BLADE OF GRASS FUND IS AN ARTS ORGANIZATION THAT CREATES WEB AND PRINT MEDIA, ENGAGING PUBLIC PROGRAMS, AND RESERACH ABOUT SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART PROJECTS; ADVOCATES FOR ARTISTS WORKING IN NON-ART CONTEXTS; AND PROVIDES DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART PROJECTS.

THE ABOG FELLOWSHIP FOR SOCIIALLY ENGAGED ART PROVIDES $20,000 IN DIRECT PROJECT SUPPORT; FIELD RESEARCH ABOUT EACH ARTIST'S PROJECT; AND AN ENGAGING DOCUMENTARY FILM AND WEB AND PRINT CONTENT THAT DISTRIBUTED GLOBALLY AND REACH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VIEWERS ANNUALLY. A BLADE OF GRASS ALSO CREATES PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND SYMPOSIA THAT SHARE IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES OF SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART PROJECTS. THESE EVENTS EXPAND THE AUDIENCE AND DISCOURSE AROUND ARTISTS ENACTING SOCIAL CHANGE IN COMMUNITIES, AND ARE SEEN BY ALMOST 1,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY.
