More about The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts:
In accordance with Andy Warhol’s will, the mission of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is the advancement of the visual arts. The foundation manages a dynamic grants program while also preserving Warhol’s legacy through creative and responsible licensing policies and extensive scholarly research for ongoing catalogue raisonné projects. To date, the foundation has given $280 million in cash grants to over 1,000 arts organizations in 49 states and abroad and has donated 52,786 works of art to 322 institutions worldwide.
“Artists consistently push boundaries – material, cultural and political – as they navigate unsettled issues in and through their work” says Rachel Bers, Program Director, “Our grantees are attuned to evolving contemporary practices and provide artists with the necessary tools, connections and platforms to develop their creative process, share their perspectives, and make meaningful contributions to cultural conversations.”
