Actually, it's apparently from the Andy Warhol Foundation. 

As someone said at the meeting last night, he may have been the most successful hacker of the art world industry, pending what Banksy might do.

>> Southern Exposure is proud to announce the recipients of grants in Round 7 of our Alternative Exposure Grant Program. In this round, Southern Exposure is awarding $70,000 to 16 projects at levels ranging from $5,000 to $2,400. With major support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Alternative Exposure supports the independent and self-organized work of artists and small groups that plays a critical and significant role in the San Francisco Bay Area  arts community. In the seven years since launching Alternative Exposure, Southern Exposure has awarded $421,000 in direct funds to 120 Bay Area projects.

This also gives us significantly more to work with should we choose to move into a larger space in the next couple of months.
