funding artists at pivotal moments
The Pivotal Fund provides direct financial support to artists for their creative practice and to fund their most ambitious ideas.
The Pivotal Fund provides annual grants to self-identifying visual artists in Alamance, Chatham, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange, Randolph, and Wake counties of North Carolina. This region is well-primed for significant investment in the individual artists that make up our creative community. This fund is designed to support artists who also exist in the geographical and creative margins and whose contributions to our burgeoning creative culture have historically been overlooked and under-resourced.

The Regional Re-granting Program was established in 2007 to recognize and support the movement of independently organized, public-facing, artist-centered activity that animates local and regional art scenes but that lies beyond the reach of traditional funding sources. The program is administered by non-profit visual art centers across the United States that work in partnership with the Foundation to fund artists’ experimental projects and collaborative undertakings.
The Pivotal Fund logo was designed by Kinari Council (he/they), a community-based mixed media artist, designer located in North Carolina. He attended NCA&T’S VISART Program and utilizes the skills he learned to create socially conscious art centered around creating awareness and engaging subjects concerning marginalized groups. His passion is to use his creativity to speak to and for those that often go overlooked.
