Night Bloom: Grants for Artists of the Sonoran Desert

About this program

MOCA Tucson, in partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, offers Night Bloom Grants for Artists of the Sonoran Desert, distributing $60,000 in project-specific awards of $5,000–$7,500. Funding supports under-the-radar, experimental, collaborative visual art projects that are public-facing and expand the cultural ecosystem of greater Tucson. Applicants should propose projects engaging the contexts of Tucson and the Sonoran Desert, with priority given to equity-centered and collaborative approaches that foster artistic exchange and discourse beyond traditional structures.
