Here is today’s featured foundation.

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts

Website: https://warholfoundation.org/

Mission & Purpose: To advance the visual arts. In accordance with Andy Warhol's will, the foundation's mission is the advancement of the visual arts. They are a staunch defender of freedom of expression for artists.

Broad Funding Guidelines: This is a national funder. They fund visual arts organizations (museums, galleries, nonprofits)—they do not fund individual artists directly (they fund "re-granting" programs for that). Their grants support Exhibitions, Curatorial Research, and Visual Arts Programming. They look for work that is experimental, recognized, and challenging.

Featured Opportunity: The "Multi-Year Program Support" is a coveted grant. It provides unrestricted funding (often $100,000+) to visual arts organizations to support their curatorial and artistic programming over two years. This is "gold standard" funding for small-to-mid-sized arts spaces.

Recommendation: A contemporary art museum, alternative art space, or non-commercial gallery that is presenting experimental or avant-garde visual art exhibitions.
