Warhol Foundation Names Fall 2024 Grantees
151Jan. 24, 2025
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Artson today revealed the forty-seven recipients of its fall 2024 grants. The foundation will award $4.1 million to visual arts organizations and institutions scattered across twenty-one US states and including two foreign institutions. Among the recipients are twenty-seven small and midsize organizations, thirteen of which are first-time grantees. Additional support was awarded to four curatorial research fellowships. The announcement of the grants follows the Warhol Foundation’s $1 million contribution to the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund.
“The precarious nature of our current world reinforces our resolve to be steadfast in our support of artists and their communities,” said Warhol Foundation president Joel Wachs in a statement. “The Warhol Foundation believes that artists and the institutions that support them make invaluable contributions to our culture. Supporting these organizations ensures that they can continue to nurture creativity and resilience and to amplify the voices of artists.”
First-time grantees include the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago, which was founded in the 1970s to elevate artists repressed during the Soviet regime and is being awarded the Wynn Kramarsky Freedom of Expression Award; Ogden Contemporary Arts in Ogden, Utah, which hosts artists from outside the region who focus on issues relevant to the Mountain West, such as environmental conservation and cultural identity; and the Center for Craft in Asheville, NC, which supplies grants for craft history research and offers residencies for artists whose work centers craft. Returning recipients include Midway Contemporary Art in Minneapolis, which commissions work from artists and supplies them with the space and resources to produce it, and Houston’s DiverseWorks, which supports experimental performance.
Among the exhibitions receiving support are “Imagining an Archipelago: Art from Cuba, Guam, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Their Diasporas,” at the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine, which will assemble work by more than thirty artists from current and former US territories in an effort to show how artistic networks can develop under conditions of subjugation; “All Manner of Experiments: Legacies of the Baghdad Group for Modern Art” at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, which will explore the work of a group of Iraqi artists active from 1951 through the 1970s and its influence on a younger generation of artists; and “Textiles as Monument” at the Fowler Museum at UCLA, for which large-scale artworks are being commissioned from three artists of South Asian descent engaged with labor communities typically underrepresented in the art world.
Curatorial fellowship recipients include Miss Tiger, who is examining the artistic importance of the work of Alex Sanchez, onetime artistic director ofBlueboymagazine, and Alinta Sara, who is investigating the complex dynamics of representation and race relations in Morocco.
