The Idea Fund is a re-granting program administered by a partnership of DiverseWorks, Aurora Picture Show, and Project Row Houses and funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. It provides direct funding to artists for artist-generated or artist-centered projects that exemplify unconventional, interventionist, conceptual, entrepreneurial, participatory, or guerrilla artistic practices. The Idea Fund supports individual artists, curators, collectives, collaboratives or partnerships in the greater Houston area. Grants are competitive and awarded by a panel of arts professionals and artists. Round 9 Jurors were Dr. Julia Bryan-Wilson, Associate Professor, Department of History of Art at University of California, Berkeley; Dennis Nance, artist, Curator, Galveston Arts Center, and 2015 Idea Fund Recipient; and Lu Zhang, Deputy Director, The Contemporary, Baltimore.
