Teiger Foundation supports contemporary visual arts with a primary focus on curators, aiming to facilitate their roles in organizations and communities through dialogue with artists and other art workers. The foundation emphasizes the importance of experimentation, creativity, and innovation in exhibitions and programming. It commits to supporting racial justice, free expression, and an equitable transition from fossil fuels, affirming the role of visual art and experimental practice in society.
The Curatorial Research Grant from the Teiger Foundation aims to fill gaps in art funding by offering up to $50,000 to organizations of any size for projects that may include travel, convenings, and collaborative investigations on critical issues leading to an exhibition or another project. It uniquely allows for institutional support for curators taking leave for research, without necessitating that the research culminate in an exhibition. While a research grant doesn't assure subsequent support for any resulting exhibitions, projects evolved from these grants are considered for future funding. The grant covers visual arts projects exclusively, excluding film, design/decorative arts, and architecture unless they prominently feature a visual art context. This funding supports various aspects of exhibitions, including development, realization, interpretation, documentation, related public programs and publications, as well as digital components like microsites.
