Since The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida accepted a challenge from the National Endowment for the Arts to create a fund to support individual artists and small, emerging arts organizations twenty-five years ago, the Art Ventures initiative has invested more than $1 million in our local arts community. In that time, more than 150 grants have gone to support individual artists, and more than ninety grants have been made to small arts organizations which have also benefited from the Art Ventures Fund. It remains the only fund of its kind in Jacksonville.

The list of Art Ventures grantees reads as a veritable who's who list of our region's creative elite. The stunning diversity and robust health of the arts in our community are reflected in the works of these impressive recipients.

To celebrate this special anniversary, the Department of Art and Design at the University of North Florida collaborates with The Community Foundation to feature the works of the 2015 awardees from Duval, Nassau, and Clay counties.
