Salt Lake City, UT – July 1, 2025 – The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in its commitment to fostering artistic growth within the region: the launch of the Assemblage Art Fund. This exciting new initiative, made possible through the generous support of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program, is set to provide crucial funding and resources to artists and arts organizations throughout Utah and its surrounding areas.
The Assemblage Art Fund represents a dedicated effort by UMOCA to amplify the voices and creative endeavors of artists working in diverse mediums and styles. By offering direct financial support, the fund aims to empower individuals and groups to undertake ambitious projects, explore new artistic territories, and contribute to the vibrant cultural landscape of the Intermountain West.
The partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts underscores UMOCA’s dedication to supporting the creation, presentation, and dissemination of contemporary art. The Foundation’s Regional Regranting Program plays a vital role in decentralizing the distribution of arts funding, ensuring that resources reach artists in communities beyond major metropolitan centers. UMOCA is honored to be a part of this crucial network, bringing the Foundation’s impactful mission to the Intermountain West.
Details regarding the fund’s specific grant categories, eligibility requirements, and application process will be made available on UMOCA’s official website in the coming weeks. The museum anticipates that the Assemblage Art Fund will support a wide spectrum of artistic practices, including but not limited to visual arts, performance art, digital art, and community-based projects.

UMOCA envisions the Assemblage Art Fund as a catalyst for collaborative projects, experimental approaches, and the overall advancement of contemporary art practices in the region.
UMOCA encourages artists and arts organizations throughout Utah and its neighboring states to stay informed about the upcoming launch of the Assemblage Art Fund and to consider how this new resource can help bring their creative visions to fruition.
