The funder's mission is to support the creation, exhibition, documentation, and dissemination of new artworks. They focus on artistic excellence and innovation, with a strong intention for the commissioned works to be gifted to US-based cultural organizations, ensuring these artworks continue to engage audiences and are preserved under the stewardship of public institutions.
Artistic Production Grants aim to fund the production and exhibition of new artistic commissions, mainly presented outside of conventional museum or gallery spaces, engaging the public in nontraditional environments. These grants support individual artists, nonprofit organizations, and institutions, emphasizing projects that embody high levels of artistic production, thought leadership, and public engagement. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $100,000 per project, prioritizing permanent installations or works that may be added to U.S. public collections. The grant program values the creation of new works that reflect innovation, support dynamic contemporary art voices that foster intellectual exchange, and promote public engagement with art.
