About
RaDLOW 3.0 is an artist regranting initiative that distributes $12,000 per awardee in unrestricted funding to artists, collectives, and/or collaborative projects across the United States. Evolving from the previous RaD Lab + Outside the Walls Fellowships, this initiative shifts away from the established traditional fellowship model to provide individual support that responds to the political and cultural moment in the United States and beyond its imaginary borders
Through this initiative, we center ALAANA-identified (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American) individuals,—including those navigating intersecting identities across race, gender, sexuality, disability, class and migration status. We support intersectional-identifying individuals as well as focused projects, collectives and artist-led spaces working in collaboration with their communities, where research based processes and creative practices are rooted in radical imagination and racial justice.
A National Community Committee will nominate individual artists for consideration and Threewalls leadership will select collectives and projects from a pool of invited groups. Expanding Threewalls’ regranting to a national scope emphasizes our understanding and practice of interconnectedness, interdependence and expansiveness. This is a moment where artists and creatives are deepening their relational engagements, their organizing, and their community-building across neighborhoods, communities, regions, and geographies.
As part of our commitment to holistic care and support for artists, grantees will also receive access to personal and professional development resources through Threewalls’ Wellness Circle. The Wellness Circle (established 2020) was created to assist artists with financial, entrepreneurial and mental health-related needs through connections with leading experts and practitioners across a number of disciplines.
RaDLOW 3.0 Wellness Circle benefits include:
● Individual financial strategy sessions with a professional advisor
● Resources to support awareness building and planning around digital security and safety in online spaces.
● Resources to support disability justice and accessibility


It is our hope that this program will inspire big ideas from Chicago-based artists in the ALAANA community in advancing a racially just society. The radical imagination that Surdna encourages is what Threewalls practices every day.
