Description
Exhibition Support grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts fund solo, two-person, or thematic group exhibitions scheduled to occur between six months and two years after the grant notification date. The program is designed to recognize and support artists whose work has been under-recognized but has made a significant impact on contemporary art and its community. The grant encourages comprehensive curatorial proposals that detail the significance of the artist or exhibition, the curatorial premise, and specific opportunities afforded to participating artists, such as new commissions, collaborations, catalogues, and public programs. For group exhibitions, the organizing principles, artist selection process, and anticipated impact on artists’ careers should be thoroughly articulated. Proposals should also provide detailed plans for publications and public engagement activities.
