Family of Oliver Tree Launches Enduring Artist Grants Foundation
TL;DR
Oliver Tree’s family has launched Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses to provide grants to artists across music, film, installation, and performance art, honoring the late singer’s wish to funnel his wealth back to artists after death. Grants can fund production and hiring but not education or equipment purchases, and are awarded annually by a committee of Tree collaborators. The fund will be built from selling non-art assets and donations, and a memorial service is planned for July 25 at UC Santa Cruz’s Quarry Amphitheater.
