Announcement: The 2009 Visual Art Grant Recipients

ARTINFO Article: "Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grants Announced"

Since its inception, the Foundation has focused on supporting emerging visual arts through grants to individuals. These grants seek to support artists during the early stages of their careers and are awarded based on the quality of the artworks submitted and the potential of the artists to make important, lasting contributions to the field. Our grantees have gone on to establish illustrious, international careers, selected for biennials from Venice to the Whitney Museum, awarded grants from The MacArthur and Guggenheim Foundations and collected by the world's leading museums and private collectors.

Every year, a pool of 50 curators, art advisors, artists, critics and academicians each nominate up to 3 artists who are then invited to submit applications to the Foundation. A selection committee determines the grant recipients in the fall. Currently, the Foundation offers awards of $10,000 to each recipient. Please note: the process is by-invitation only. Individuals cannot apply directly to the grant program.
