Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts invites applications from contemporary visual arts writers

A program of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Arts Writers Grant Programsupports emerging and established writers writing about contemporary visual art. Published authors who identify as art historians, artists, critics, curators, journalists, or writers in an outside field engaged in contemporary visual arts are invited to apply for grants ranging between $15,000 and $50,000. Grants will be awarded in three categories—articles, books, and short-form writing—in support of projects addressing both general and specialized art audiences, from short reviews for magazines and newspapers to in-depth scholarly studies. The program also supports art writing that engages criticism through interdisciplinary methods or experiments with literary styles.The program defines “contemporary visual art” as visual art made since World War II. Projects focused on post-WWII work in related fields—architecture, dance, film, media, music, performance, sound, etc.—will only be considered if the project directly and significantly engages the discourses and concerns of contemporary visual art.To be eligible, applicants must be at least 25 years old, a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, or an individual with an O-I visa.
