As of 2022, after fourteen years together, Fuse Ensemble is now supported by Fuse Ensemble Arts Collective (FEAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance the awareness of, and opportunities for women and systemically underrepresented composers and visual artists.
We aim to expose audiences to a wide range of artistic perspectives and insights while encouraging the growth of a more just and vibrant new music community.

FEAC will accomplish its mission through the commissioning, collaboration, public performances, education, encouragement, and recognition of the artists with whom they work.
FEAC commissions and programs works from a diverse selection of composers and collaborating artists such as poets, painters, conceptual, visual and media artists, and brings their work to communities near and far.
Fuse Ensemble’s 2023-2024 Season was supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
Fuse Ensemble’s 2023-2024 Season was supported in part by Columbia University’s Alice M. Ditson Fund Organizational Support Grant
