the velocity fund

The Velocity Fund directly supports Philadelphia-based artists with project grants up to $5,000. Open to a wide range of experimental practices, particularly those that emphasize collaboration between artistic genres.

We are excited to support an expansive range of visual arts, including performance, photography, video, fashion, ceramics, calligraphy, woodworking, comics, murals, glass, neon, mail art, fiber arts, culinary arts, graphic design and animation, drawing and painting, printmaking and bookmaking, sculpture and installation, cosmetology and body art, participatory events and social practice writ broadly — and intersections between these arts.
