Lovepunks Fund for Experiential Culture

Seeking artists, musicians, builders, and community creators co-designing new cultural experiences, rituals, and spaces for human connection.

The Lovepunks Fund for Experiential Culture supports artists, musicians, researchers, designers, organizers, technologists, and social innovators creating human-centered experiences that bring people together. From music residencies and cultural laboratories to rituals, gatherings, pop-up communities, and creative experiments, we fund projects that explore new ways of connecting, creating, learning, and living together. Our mission is to cultivate cultural infrastructure that strengthens human relationships, nurtures creativity, and leaves behind lasting contributions that can inspire communities around the world.

Eligibility

Lovepunks supports projects that contribute to the creation of meaningful, human-focused experiences. We welcome artists, musicians, builders, researchers, organizers, and community leaders whose work helps people connect more deeply with themselves, each other, and the communities they inhabit. We prioritize projects that foster creativity, collaboration, care, and collective possibility while generating cultural outputs that continue beyond the gathering itself.
To qualify for this fund, projects must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Project must contribute to a Lovepunks-inspired experience such as a residency, ritual, gathering, cultural laboratory, music experience, educational program, community activation, or co-created cultural project.
- Project should demonstrate alignment with the values of love, freedom, sovereignty, care, creativity, and collective flourishing.
- Creators must actively participate in the collaborative process and contribute to the broader experience, not only their individual project.
- Projects should create a lasting cultural artifact, outcome, or contribution that remains useful after the experience concludes.
- Examples include music, films, documentation, writing, photography, visual art, research, toolkits, prototypes, educational resources, community formats, rituals, or collaborative works.
- Priority will be given to projects that strengthen community, encourage participation, and foster meaningful human connection.
- Projects may be artistic, cultural, technological, educational, or interdisciplinary in nature.
- Funding may be used for residency participation, production, documentation, hospitality, creative infrastructure, coordination, facilitation, research, or collaborative cultural outputs.
- Projects that are primarily promotional, extractive, speculative, manipulative, or disconnected from the human quality of the experience are not eligible.
- Creators must share documentation and reflections from their participation so that the knowledge, relationships, and cultural outputs generated through the experience can benefit a broader community.
