\n\tThe Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has announced the recipients of its Spring 2026 grant cycle, which will see the nonprofit dole out nearly $5.2 million to 78 arts and cultural organizations.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Spring 2026 cycle is divided into four types of grants: \u201cProgram Support Over 2 Years\u201d (ranging from $50,000 to $100,000), \u201cExhibition Support\u201d ($50,000\u2013$100,000), \u201cCuratorial Research Fellowships\u201d ($27,000\u2013$50,000), and \u201cProjects Grants for Small-Scale Organizations\u201d ($20,000\u2013$30,000).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cProjects Grants for Small-Scale Organizations\u201d is being distributed for the first time after the Warhol Foundation announced earlier this year that it would create a new program for organizations with annual budgets under $200,000. Among the 20 organizations receiving these project-based grants, totaling $530,000, are Golden Dome in Los Angeles, which will design a garden; Soon is Now in Beacon, New York, to realize an installation; Seafoam Palace in Detroit, for a site-specific commission in a warehouse; and Art from the Inside in Minneapolis, which will mount a group exhibition of commissioned works by formerly incarcerated artists.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAt their best, visual arts organization cultivate creative risk-taking and promote the circulation of experimental approaches to culture. They are the incubators of new ideas, the platforms for underrepresented voices, and the community anchors that make artists\u2019 visions accessible and intelligible to the public,\u201d Warhol Foundation program director Rachel Bers said in statement. \u201cOur recent grant program expansion reflects the foundation\u2019s belief that small-scale institutions are just as vital as their larger and better known counterparts to the overall health of the arts ecosystem in this country; each has a crucial role to play in supporting the complexity and diversity of contemporary artistic practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe exhibition support grants will go toward realizing 18 shows, including solos for Joey Terrill at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Amanda Williams at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Ma\u0142gorzata Mirga-Tas at the Jewish Museum in New York, Precious Okoyomon at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, and Abdias Nascimento at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGroup exhibitions receiving funding include \u201cTerru\u00f1o: Contemporary Photography and Sense of Place in the American Southwest\u201d at the Harwood Museum of Art of the University of New Mexico in Taos, \u201cAfterlives: Japanese American Artists and the Postwar Era\u201d at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and \u201cImperfect Balance\u201d at the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 31 organizations receiving multi-year support include BlackStar in Philadelphia; the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute in New York; 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica, California; Institute 193 in Lexington, Kentucky; Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana (MACLA) in San Jose, California; Performance Space New York; and Vox Populi in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe work of visual artists is essential to how we understand ourselves, challenge one another, and imagine what is possible,\u201d Warhol Foundation president Joel Wachs said in a statement.\u201cThe Foundation is committed to supporting artists and the organizations that sustain them as they carry out some of the country\u2019s most important cultural work, often under extraordinarily difficult conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
