The Pollock-Krasner Foundation provides unrestricted support to exceptional professional visual artists worldwide. For four decades, its grants have helped artists create new work, purchase materials, cover studio rent, and dedicate concentrated time to their practice. Support can also help artists prepare for exhibitions and pursue other professional opportunities, rather than being limited to a particular project or expense.
The program supports artists working primarily in painting, sculpture, and works on paper, including printmaking. Grants are based on artistic merit, not financial need. The Foundation places no restrictions on style, school, technique, or subject matter within its eligible media.
