Warhol Foundation to Give $4 M. to 48 Organizations in Fall 2022Grants

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts will dole out over $4 million to 48 nonprofit arts organizations as part of its Fall 2022 grant cycle.

The Warhol grants are given out in three categories: two-year support for programming, direct exhibition support, and research fellowships. As part of its continued response to the economic challenges small- and medium-sized arts organizations face as a result of the pandemic, awardees may use up to 50 percent of their grants for administrative expenses, which the foundation believes “ultimately benefit[s] artists by providing crucial support for the stability of non-profit visual arts field,” according to a release.

Organizations that will receive support over two years include two first-time recipients, both of which are artist-run organizations: CURRENTS/Parallel Studios in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Oretga Y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn. Cleveland’s SPACES will use its grant to support the realization of the U.S. Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale and a project with artist collective Cooking Sections. Additional grantees include Independent Curators International, Visual AIDS, Project Row Houses, the Laundromat Project, and the Contemporary Austin.

Exhibitions that receive Warhol Foundation grants are often among the most closely watched. In this cycle, those shows, which all received awards for $100,000, include “An Incomplete History of Zines by Artists” at the Brooklyn Museum, “Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility” at the Guggenheim Museum, “Monuments” at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and “The Shape of Time: Korean Art after 1989” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Similarly, several artist solo shows are included in the grant cycle, such as ones for Firelei Báez, Marta Minujín, Virginia Jaramillo, Ruth Asawa, Harry Smith, and Mickalene Thomas.

Three recurring exhibitions also received grants: Counterpublic in St. Louis, Missouri for two-year programming; the Performa 2023 Biennial in New York for exhibition support; and Miranda Lash and Ebony Patterson as research fellows for the Prospect.6 triennial in 2024 in New Orleans.

In a statement, Warhol Foundation president Joel Wachs said, “The Foundation’s grant program recognizes the vital role played by artist-centered organizations, community-oriented spaces, and major museums to amplify the voices and visions of artists. In addition to championing experimental artistic practices, they provide crucial platforms from which artists can contribute to important cultural dialogues.”
