Established through the estate of Edna Andrade, these grants fund the purchase or commission of artworks, one-person exhibitions, and educational, cultural, humanitarian, or environmental projects involving visual artists working in painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, or sculpture. The program aims to foster the careers and visibility of artists from Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, as well as Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey.
