<br><i>Southern Exposure is proud to announce the recipients of grants in
Round 7 of our Alternative Exposure Grant Program. In this round,
Southern Exposure is awarding $70,000 to 16 projects at levels ranging
from $5,000 to $2,400. With major support from the Andy Warhol
Foundation for the Visual Arts, Alternative Exposure supports the
independent and self-organized work of artists and small groups that
plays a critical and significant role in the San Francisco Bay Area
arts community. In the seven years since launching Alternative
Exposure, Southern Exposure has awarded $421,000 in direct funds to 120
Bay Area projects.<br>(<a href="http://soex.org/artistsresources.html" target="_blank">http://soex.org/artistsresources.html</a></i>)<br><br></div><div>This is a nice bit of cash that will very nearly provide the 3-month rent buffer we endeavor to have as a foundation, though we still need to build up Rainy Day, maintenance and operations funds. This also gives us significantly more to work with should we choose to move into a larger space in the next couple of months.<br>
<br>It would be great to reinitiate conversations and proposals toward a membership policy and long-term sustainability goals.<br></div><div><br></div>Thanks to David Keenan for inspiring a down-to-the-wire grant-writing hackathon and making the process super fun and collaborative, and major props to Marc for excellent feedback and revisions. I'll write a blog post this weekend to publicly thank SOEX.<br>
<br></div>And <3 to all y'all for making an awesome Sudo Room!<br><3<br clear="all"><div><div><div><div>Jenny<br>
