The Current Art Fund is a partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation to distribute project grants to Tennessee based artists. Tri-Star Arts holds grant workshops in each region of Tennessee and also one recorded workshop online. We reach out to the Tennessee Arts Commission other arts organizations the press and Tennessee-based artists to inform them about the grant opportunity. Four jurors are selected to review and score applications. Eight grants of $7500 each are awarded to artists in West Middle and East Tennessee. Over the course of the grant period Tri-Star Arts leadership meets with grantees to receive project updates and assist them in any way possible.
