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 grant program by Teiger Foundation provides three-year funding support for programming at smaller organizations with annual budgets under $3 million, explicitly dedicated to projects within the visual arts sector. Excluded are projects primarily focused on film, design/decorative arts, or architecture unless they prominently incorporate a visual art framework. This funding aims to cover a comprehensive array of activities including the development, realization, and documentation of exhibitions, along with associated public programming and publications, whether in print or digital formats. The grants, which can go up to $150,000, encourage curators to explore innovative ways of extending the reach and impact of their projects, including control over how their work is presented online. The initiative seeks to empower curatorial innovation and structural advancement in the contemporary art field, favoring projects that contribute to the discourse or improve conditions around art exhibitions and museums through research, experimentation, organizing, or coalition building.
