The Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writing Initiative is a three-year, three million dollar pilot program designed 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 Andy Warhol Foundation 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. It will also sustain the work of individual arts writers through project-based grants awarded under the auspices of the Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program.
