Of interest to the Foundation are: 1) articles that identify and explore pressing issues in the contemporary visual arts; and 2) texts that illuminate the value contemporary art holds for all viewers through its ability to complicate and enrich our understanding of our world and ourselves and through its ability to offer a space of freedom from and critical engagement with prevailing norms. Grant amounts range from $15,000 to $50,000.
