Grantees receiving program support include small to mid-sized organizations that enable artists to pave their own creative paths and bring their visions to fruition. Some bolster artists’ practices through exhibitions, residencies, public art commissions, publications, and public symposia, while others advocate for the value of their labor, developing systems for their equitable compensation. Museums, university art galleries, and arts organizations will receive grants in support of large-scale solo and group exhibitions that cover a range of timely topics and bring to light the work of artists whose careers have been overlooked or underrepresented.

The grantees are located in 20 states across the US, with one international recipient in Mexico City.   “As socio-political tensions, cultural inequities, and environmental crises persist, it is imperative that arts organizations continue to cultivate the expressive capacities of artists,” says Joel Wachs, President, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, “By providing artists with financial, material, and intellectual resources, as well as public platforms and engaged audiences, these organizations support the development of works that can offer new entry points to stalemated conversations. ”   30 mid-to-small-sized organizations receiving multi-year program support are recognized for their commitment to artists and their communities. Through exhibitions, residencies, commissions, publications, and other opportunities for experimentation and collaboration, they foster artistic growth and promote innovation across disciplines. Several grantees also actively safeguard freedom of artistic expression, providing support and safe haven to artists under threat for ideas expressed in their work.   16 museums and university galleries will present exhibitions that tackle a range of contemporary issues, bring to light the work of artists whose careers have been overlooked or underrepresented, and showcase several artists in their first major solo presentations.   Additional support will be distributed among four projects in nascent stages through the foundation’s curatorial research fellowships.
