Futures Fund is a regranting initiative organized by The Luminary and funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to support innovative, experimental, and forward-focused artistic projects throughout the St. Louis region. Futures Fund was founded in 2019 to provide essential support to creative projects that exemplify the unique possibilities of St. Louis, with an emphasis on projects that deeply engage its past, present, and possible futures and model new ways of working within our region. The fund exists as one of the few opportunities for direct project support for artists in St. Louis.

Applications will be reviewed by Mikayla Nicholson (coordinator for Collective Power Fund), Marianne Laury (curator, Granite City Art and Design District); Kentaro Kumanomido (curator, Wildfruit Projects, past FF recipient), and Kellen Wright and Kalaija Mallery, Gallery Manager and Executive and Artistic Director respectively, for final selection.
