The company received project grants from the Jerome Foundation, most recently in 2005, and has also received grants from the Minnesota Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, The Minnesota State Arts Board, and the McKnight Foundation. In October 2006, Skewed Visions appeared alongside Meredith Monk and Stephan Koplowitz as keynote speakers for the first Site-Specific Performance Symposium at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center of the Graduate Center of CUNY. The company's production of Jasper Johns was made with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts's American Masterpieces initiative. The company's work has also been the subject of articles in academic journals, frequently focusing on "expanding notions of theater and performance." These include New Theatre Quarterly, TDR, and Frakcija. (en)
