Wherewithal Grants
Wherewithal Grants are a funding source for artists in the DC-area. Generously funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of its Regional Regranting Program and managed by WPA, these grants are intended to support a wide range of experimental and multidisciplinary practices, particularly those that emphasize collaboration and discourse. Since launching in 2019, Wherewithal Grants has supported 156 visual artists and collectives with a total of $400,000 in grants. Learn More
The application portal opens annually in the fall
Submit to Collectors’ Night Benefit Auction
Collectors’ Night raises money for WPA’s artist-organized exhibitions, programs, and projects. Taking place each spring, this annual benefit sale includes more than one hundred artworks by artists living throughout the United States. Proceeds from the sale are split between the artists and WPA. The auction is held online for two weeks in the spring, and the artworks are installed onsite in DC for a closing gala event. Learn More
