Collaboration Overview

Interlace Grant Fund directly supports Providence-area visual artists and their work and well-being. The fund was cofounded in 2020 by Dirt Palace Public Projects (DPPP) and Providence College Galleries (PCG) as part of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program. The DPPP/PCG partnership concluded in 2024 and DPPP currently administers all Interlace programs.

With Project Grants, Interlace annually funds artist-led projects that privilege collaboration and blur boundaries—material, conceptual, spatial, etc.—and forge alliances among artists, artists and audiences, artists and communities, and others. In supporting diverse artists with unconventional projects, especially those that might otherwise be overlooked by more traditional funders and venues, The Interlace Grant Fund seeks to make more robust the already adventurous spirit of Providence’s arts scene.

Interlace Emergency Relief Grants provide limited emergency support to visual artists on an ongoing basis. These grants will not cover all expenses; however, they are small acts of intervention and an expression of solidarity and support for artists experiencing hardship.

Special thanks to the PC faculty who served on the panel to distribute Interlace Emergency Relief Grants during the partnership: Tuba Agartan, Eric Hirsch, Nick Longo, Carmine Perrotti, Sokeo Ros, Eric Sung, and Virginia Thomas.
