The Supporting Act Foundation is committed to the creation of better opportunities in the arts, carving out spaces for emerging artists and artist-led groups from under-represented communities in order to drive systemic change.

Getting a foot in the door can often feel impossible in the art world, especially if you come from a marginalized background. That’s why our grant programs exist: to offer emerging artists and grassroots initiatives the resources to shape a better future. No strings attached.

Mission statement

Our mission is to enable inspiring artist-led initiatives and emerging artists to fulfill their creative potential. We aim to create opportunities for underrepresented people in the arts, and support communities and organizations in seeking intersectional justice for people and the planet.
