At the core of our mission lies a deep belief in nurturing a vibrant arts economy through the empowerment of both artists and organizations. We recognize the power of arts, culture, and humanities as potent catalysts for economic growth. With this conviction, we are dedicated to offering invaluable resources that uplift and fortify the creative community. Newgrit achieves this through these programs:

Fiscal Sponsorships: We provide artists and arts organizations with the essential support they need to bring their creative endeavors to life. Through fiscal sponsorships, we enable them to access funding and resources, allowing their artistic visions to flourish.
B.A.S.E: We understand the critical intersection of art and business. Our professional development programs (Business of Arts Skills Enhancement) equip individuals and organizations with the knowledge and skills required to navigate the complex landscape of the arts industry successfully.
Artists Activating Spaces Pilot: Demonstrating the economic power of arts, we turn empty spaces into temporary studio spaces.
Join us in our commitment to shaping a prosperous and culturally enriched future, where the arts are not just a source of inspiration but also powerful drivers of economic and societal growth. Together, we can make this vision a reality.

Newgrit is funded in part by Santa Barbara Foundation, and by a program of the City o f S anta Barbara in collaboration with the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture.
