Pollock-Krasner Foundation announces 2021-22 Grants
On August 2nd the Pollock-Krasner Foundation announced it awarded $2,685,000 to 106 artists and nonprofit organizations during its July 2021-June 2022 fiscal year grant cycle, providing support to U.S.-based and international artists. Spanning Los Angeles to India, the latest iteration of grant and award recipients comprise artists from 14 states and 16 countries. Since the Foundation’s establishment in 1985, it has awarded nearly 5,000 grants totaling over $84 million in 79 countries. Particularly critical during the continuing global health crisis, the Foundation’s ongoing funding imparts professional support to artists around the globe, allowing the grantees to create new work, purchase materials, rent studio space, prepare for and mount exhibitions, attend residencies, and offset living expenses.
“As we continue to support Lee Krasner’s legacy, our 2021-22 grant and award recipients illustrate the Foundation’s philanthropy thanks to the generosity of Krasner herself,” said Ronald D. Spencer, Chairman and CEO of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. “She understood how important it is to give artists the funding they need to continue to create new work, and we are proud to expand the opportunities available to our recipients through support for their exhibitions and residency programs.”
This year, the Lee Krasner Award—bestowed in recognition of a lifetime of artistic achievement—is awarded to first time recipient Josely Carvalho. A São Paulo-born multimedia artist, Carvalho maintains studios in Rio de Janeiro and New York.
