By "contemporary visual art," we mean visual art made since World War II. Projects on post-WWII work in adjacent fields—architecture, design, film, theater/performance, sound, etc.—will only be considered if they directly and significantly engage the discourses and concerns of contemporary visual art. Projects with a pre-WWII component will only be considered if the project’s main focus is contemporary.

ABOUT
The Short-Form Writing category supports the ongoing practice of writers who regularly produce short texts that respond to current exhibitions, events, and issues in the visual arts (magazine and newspaper reviews, etc.). By "short" we mean texts in the range of 250-1,500 words. By "writers who regularly produce" we mean writers who, on average, publish at least one text per month (or who intend to publish at least that amount if awarded a grant). Because this category supports an ongoing practice, the "project" for which writers apply is essentially the continuation of their work, as demonstrated in their writing samples. Short-Form Writing grants are $30,000 each.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Short-Form Writing grant applicants must
- have published at least eight pieces of arts writing of at least 250 words each.
