Chris Hoff, formerly of The Office, and always of the OC Art Blog, along with his wife, Mrs. OC Art Blog, have “formed a private foundation to help support artists & arts organizations based in Orange County or Long Beach.” The Hoff Foundation will be awarding $3,000 in grants quarterly to applicable artists and organizations. Since they missed the Jan 1 award date this year, they will be awarding $6,000 in grants for their April 1st award date.
Chris exercised great taste in his curatorial choices at The Office, and I know that the Hoff Foundation will direct these grants to artists and organizations that really represent the tremendous creative wealth and power in Orange County and Long Beach. Taking a quick look at their application process, I can say that it looks really approachable and doable for artists who haven’t applied for grants before – so get off your ass and go for it. Deadline for the April 1st round is March 15.

Hello, I just quit my job to paint full time. I live near Orange county Virginia if that counts. A few of my paintings are on my facebook page. All I can say is I know I have what it takes to make my art and hopefully you guys will send me some money. Thank You,
