Warhol Foundation Announces Spring 2024 Grantees

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts on June 27 announced the forty-nine recipients of its spring 2024 grants. The foundation will award more than $4 million to visual arts organizations and institutions dispersed across nineteen US states and the District of Columbia as well as one in South Africa. Included among the recipients are small and midsize organizations as well as museums or university galleries; additional support was awarded to six curatorial research fellowships.

“Artists are at the center of all of our grantmaking efforts; we seek to uplift organizations and institutions that consistently amplify artists’ voices and facilitate artists’ visions,” said Warhol Foundation president Joel Wachs in a statement. “The voices of artists keep our cultural conversations dynamic and evolving; their unique perspectives resist the stagnation that comes with polarization and suggest new ways of moving into and through turbulent times.”

Among the recipients are organizations working to foster cultural exchange and community interaction, those creating opportunities for artists with research-based practices to present work in the public sphere, and those exploring technology, broadcast, performance, and new media. Also receiving grants were organizations supporting local and regional voices and concerns, and those centered on activism and resistance.

Among the first-time grantees receiving multiyear program support are the Donkey Mill Art Centerin Hōlualoa, Hawaii, which elevates Native Hawaiian LGBTQ+ and BIPOC artists; San Francisco’s artist-founded /(Slash), which supports the city’s independent artists, writers, and curators; Brooklyn’s Open Source Gallery, which provides site-specific contemporary arts programming in a residential neighborhood; and Emerson Contemporary at Emerson College in Boston, which aims to connect local artists with organizations through a series of programs and exhibitions around local monuments and histories.

Exhibitions receiving support include the inaugural Boston Public Triennial, to be held in 2025; “Vivian Browne: My Kind of Protest,” co-organized by grantee the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, and Cincinnati’s Contemporary Art Center and the first retrospective of the artist and activist, whose work investigated the imbalance of power faced by women of color; and “Pao Houa Her: The Imaginative Landscape,” the inaugural survey of the Hmong American artist whose practice examines issues of identity and diaspora, presented by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Among the curatorial fellowship recipients are Sarah Higgins, executive and artistic director of Atlanta-based nonprofit Art Papers, and Juan Omar Rodriguez, an assistant curator at the San José Museum of Art.
