Visual Arts Grants

VISUAL ARTS MATTERS

FAB’s grants promote artistic expression and create inclusive spaces. FAB SUPPORTS community-based visual art initiatives, SUSTAINS the creation and exhibition of high-quality visual art works, and ENCOURAGES the growth of talent in our visual art community.

Who FAB Serves in the Visual Arts Community

FAB funds non-profit entities like NSU – Museum of Art that curate and present high-quality visual art exhibitions, as well as organizations like ArtServe that support local artists through multiple interesting exhibitions each year.

Many of FAB’s visual arts organizations also participate in student enrichment programs. In 2025, Art and Culture Center/Hollywood, Coral Springs Museum of Art, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, and Young at Art have received FAB grants to support the development and execution of programs designed to introduce visual arts to children.

FAB grants have helped support the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. In addition, a grant to Fort Lauderdale’s Children’s theatre helped support their launch of the Film Academy at FLCT.
FAB funds public art programs that bring visual art into public spaces, making art accessible to the broader community and providing a sense of place to the residents that live within the community.
FAB funds cultural institutions like the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood that offer a variety of visual art experiences for children and families. Their interactive programming provides opportunities for children to both see and produce art, ensuring an appreciation for arts and development of future artists.

How FAB has impacted the Visual Arts Community

FAB provides crucial financial assistance to visual arts organizations which help cover curation, packing and shipping, artists’ fees, and other expenses. This support allows them to produce exceptional exhibitions.
Our consistent funding has provided stability for visual arts organizations, allowing them to plan for the future and pursue long-term growth. This stability has enabled many organizations to expand their programming and increase their impact on the community.
