Midway Contemporary Art

Midway Contemporary Art is a non-profit organization that has been registered to receive federal grant awards since February 27, 2007. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, it primarily engages in artistic and cultural projects funded by various federal agencies. The organization focuses on supporting emerging national and international artists through exhibition series and public art presentations. Additionally, Midway Contemporary Art has expanded its scope to include projects related to wood utilization and forest management, demonstrating a diverse range of activities supported by federal grants.

The organization has received multiple grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to support exhibition series featuring works by emerging national and international artists. These project grants have been awarded annually, with the most recent being in January 2024. In 2022, Midway Contemporary Art received funding for an off-site temporary outdoor presentation of public art, showcasing works by emerging and under-recognized artists. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization received grants to support general operating costs, personnel, and facilities. Most recently, in February 2024, Midway Contemporary Art was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Wood Utilization Assistance program. This grant aims to provide technical assistance on new and emerging wood utilization technologies and products, supporting forest management, reducing hazardous fuels, improving forest health, and promoting economic and environmental well-being in the region.
