Guidelines Available for Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers' Grant Program

The Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program is a three-year program designed to support writers working on contemporary art. The program was launched in 2006 by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and is administered by Creative Capital.

The program aims to promote critical discourse that is both rigorous and accessible, foster innovation in arts writing, and encourage writing that nurtures connections between art and the public at large.

In its first year, the Arts Writers Grant Program issued awards for books, articles, and experiments in new and alternative media. This round will include a new grant category for short-form writing (texts of a thousand words or less). In addition, the program seeks an increased engagement in the coming grant round with article-based projects and with art of the current moment.

To be eligible, an applicant must be an art historian, artist, critic, curator, journalist, or practitioner in an outside field who is strongly engaged with the contemporary visual arts; a U.S. citizen, permanent resident of the United States, or possessor of an O-1 visa; at least 25 years of age; and a published author (specific publication requirements vary depending on grant category).

The program will support approximately fifteen to twenty projects. Grant amounts will range from $3,000 to $50,000 each, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.

See the program's Web site for guidelines and eligibility requirements. The application will be posted at the Web site on August 6, 2007.
