We’ve Merged! The Indie Theater Fund is now a program of IndieSpace!

As a vital resource and voice for indie theater, IndieSpace and The Indie Theater Fund will continue to support indie artists through recovery. At the same time, we will lead a reimagining of indie theater in New York City to achieve our vision of indie theater as a viable and thriving business and livelihood—that is valued as the heart of our city.  

We are excited to be launching an updated website in June!

CULTURAL SOLIDARITY FUND

Providing Emergency Relief Microgrants for NYC Individual Artists and Cultural Workers

In the spirit of coalition and resource sharing, NYC arts and cultural organizations have come together to build and support the Cultural Solidarity Fund (CSF). This new Fund is awarding $500 relief microgrants to individual artists and cultural workers in New York City. Priority is given to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), immigrant, disabled/deaf, transgender, two spirit, nonbinary and gender nonconforming artists and cultural workers. The Cultural Solidarity Fund is being administered by IndieSpace/The Indie Theater Fund!

The application for CSF opened for one week at the beginning of March and took in nearly 3,000 applications. The first round of grants was awarded on March 19th. New grants to the initial list of applicants will be made as new funds come in. 1,066 grants have been made so far.
