Together with VSCO, we believe that creators are amongst the best equipped to spread and awaken diverse perspectives. VSCO Voices is a new grant program that supports creators who use art to give voice to marginalized communities in the United States. We believe in the power of helping creators spread diverse perspectives through art that will ultimately spark important conversations in our community. We see value in providing creatives access to come up with new ideas and the support and funding to try them out.
We believe creators are a powerful force for change and VSCO Voices is a program that helps identify and fund early-stage creators that create impactful work that aims to become a catalytic program to help propel a creators career.
Each year, VSCO Voices will select five creators to participate in the six-month program and will provide each of the five grant recipients with mentorship and $20,000 in funding as well as participation in key events with your cohort. Applications will be selected based on relevance to the grant theme, and based on criteria including excellence, thoughtfulness, passion, as well as continued commitment to the community described.
Access Ventures’ seeks partners that share our desire in building a more inclusive and creative economy. We partnered and helped co-found the VSCO Voices program with VSCO, a photo company that builds creative tools to help equip, educate, and inspire anyone on the journey towards reaching their creative potential. Together with VSCO, we each participate in the program by leveraging our strengths to develop, manage, and execute on a new art grant that will fund the next generation of creators. Our role within VSCO Voices has been to provide the funding, strategy, and expertise in starting and scaling new impactful programs. We have also helped in opening doors to new partners, funders, and organizations that are mission-aligned in our efforts to support creators that are creating meaningful and impactful work in the United States.
Our vision is to impact the world by providing capital to the best organizations. If you have a project or idea you’d like to discuss with us then please send us information about your business to review.
