The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts preserves Warhol’s legacy by responding to the needs of artists and fostering creative innovation across the full spectrum of visual artistic activity, from public-facing grassroots collectives, to major exhibitions at high-profile institutions. They actively support work by underrepresented practitioners and strive to recognize organizations that address the systematic marginalization of artists based on race, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, immigration status, and income level.
Multi-Year Program Support offers grants for two years of visual arts programming. This can include exhibitions, residencies, public art works, screenings, performances, lectures, publications, mentorships and other professional development opportunities for artists. The Foundation's broader mission is to advance the visual arts, and this multi-year support enables organizations to build capacity, present experimental work, and sustain public engagement over an extended period .
