The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has announced grants totaling more than $4 million to organizations across 20 states and the District of Columbia as well as in Mexico City and Stockholm.

The latest cohort of grantees, 19 of which are first-time grantees, includes arts organizations working to help the unhoused to harness their creativity, connect artists to mentors and offer them space to create, and support the LGBTQIA+ arts community. In addition, the foundation announced $190,000 in support of curatorial projects whose themes include a nomadic residency, language and feminism, and Asian American art. First-time grantees include Stove Works in Chattanooga, Tennessee; River Valley Arts Collective in Katonah, New York; and Gather:Make:Shelter in Portland, Oregon.

“The spring 2023 grantees have demonstrated admirable dedication to nurturing experimental artistic practice, providing artists with platforms from which to participate in critical cultural exchanges,” said Warhol Foundation president Joel Wachs. “The foundation’s support empowers institutions and the artists they serve to revisit and question accepted histories, highlight overlooked and underrepresented voices, and promote innovation and creativity.”
