Who they fund:

Affordable space is a critical need for artists. One relatively untapped angle is vacant commercial property. Dane County Planning & Development (Madison, Wisconsin) recently took the bold step of asking why artists and commercial property owners aren’t getting together.
Each month we will feature one of our fiscally sponsored projects who have been successful at using our program to advance their art/cause/career. November’s featured project is Little Lord.
