The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts announced today the recipients of its 2019 spring grants. It will award $3.81 million to forty-one arts organizations that focus on supporting experimental and underrecognized artists. The funds will help realize scholarly exhibitions, including five monographic shows of work by women artists; publications; and visual arts programming.
“The grantees in this round range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue,” said Joel Wachs, the foundation’s president. “Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
The grantees were chosen from a pool of 249 applicants. Individual grants, ranging from $60,000 to $120,000, will go to projects in twelve states, the District of Columbia, and Canada, including to the Alabama Contemporary Art Center, the Power Plant in Toronto, the Center for Independent Documentary in Boston, the Lab in San Francisco, and Printed Matter, Inc. and the New Museum in New York.
