What is artsvest Regional?
artsvest Regional is an extension of the national artsvest program, operating in regions with a local funding partner. This program offers matching fund opportunities and delivers more in-depth training, peer-to-peer learning, and mentorship focused on sponsorship.
Currently, there are over 500 organizations participating in the national artsvest program. Through artsvest Regional, our partnerships with public funders enable us to increase impact by providing matching funds to select organizations for new sponsorship dollars raised.
The organizations selected for artsvest Regional were chosen based on their commitment to serving rural, remote, and/or equity-seeking communities through their mission and programming. By supporting small organizations that operate with limited resources, artsvest Regional helps organizations grow, enhance organizational resilience and diversify their revenue streams.
