The Warhol Foundation Arts Writing Initiative is a three-year, three million dollar pilot program to support independent, progressive, nonprofit arts publications and individual arts writers. The result of extensive research conducted by the Warhol Foundation into the current needs and challenges facing arts writing, the initiative amplifies the foundation's longstanding support of critical writing about the arts by focusing attention on arts writing as an essential component of a thriving visual culture.
The Arts Writing Initiative takes a two-pronged approach to this task: it will improve the viability of a select group of invited independent arts publications through capacity-building grants administered directly by the Warhol Foundation, and will also sustain the work of individual arts writers through project-based grants awarded under the auspices of the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program.
Selected through a nomination-based process for their ambition, commitment, and strong editorial vision, each of the eight non-profit journals listed below will receive a capacity-building grant of approximately $100,000 intended to stabilize business practices, increase audiences, and encourage the exploration of new partnerships and distribution channels. The grants are meant to enable journals to take creative risks and to showcase ambitious, intellectually committed writing.
