Vice Provost for the Arts Rolling Grants

Vice Provost for the Arts Rolling Grants are available throughout the year. These grants are smaller in nature, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand to help supplement the incredible work that our Faculty, Staff, & Students are already doing. When possible, we also support Community Projects that have a UVA tie-in. Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to fund individual student projects through this granting process, but you can email Emma Terry to inquire about another opportunity. For the Rolling Grant, please email Emma Terry a 2-3 sentence pitch/summary, including a rough estimate of the amount you are seeking, and she will be in touch with an application if it fits within our funding parameters! 

UVA Arts celebrates the vibrant cultural expression fostered by student cultural organizations across Grounds, including cultural nights. These events contribute meaningfully to the cultural life of the University, and we are always glad to help amplify them through promotion on our calendar and newsletter. However, the funding administered by UVA Arts is designated specifically to support the presentation of visiting artists and the commissioning or production of new artistic work at the University. As a result, student cultural night programming and related fundraising efforts fall outside the scope of UVA Arts funding, though we remain enthusiastic partners in celebrating and sharing the creative work of our student community. Student organizations may wish to explore funding through Student Affairs or other student activity funding sources. If you think your event falls within our funding scope, please feel free to email a pitch as instructed above. 

Please note: By accepting funds from the Vice Provost for the Arts, you agree to provide us with a short follow-up report to be published online, including relevant images & marketing publications, directly following the completion of your project. Please credit UVA Arts and the Office of the Provost & the Vice Provost for the Arts as a [co-]sponsor/supporter in any marketing material and include the UVA Arts Logo below and full logo suite with B&W and transparent logos can be found here >.

Fine Print: UVA Arts is not meant to be an on-going, recurring funding source/line item in your budget, as we do not have funds to sustain all of the departments, programs and student groups year after year. We strive to help with new initiatives, opportunities, and events that highlight the amazing artistic work of our students, staff & faculty.

Things we are unable to fund: bands or performance groups to play parties, t-shirts and other swag for events, and trophies :: requests for equipment may be considered, but must remain the property of UVA.
