2013 Arts Writers Grants Award $619,000 to 20 Recipients Across Four Categories
In 2013, the Arts Writers Grant Program, a collaboration between the Andy Warhol Foundation and Creative Capital, awarded $619,000 to twenty writers. This initiative, now in its eighth year, aims to assist arts writers who encounter financial difficulties. Grants are offered in four distinct categories: articles, blogs, books, and short-form writing. Among the notable recipients, Sharon Butler, the creator of Two Coats of Paint, and Andrew Horwitz, who is launching 'Art Criticism for the Post-Material World,' are recognized in the blogging sector. In the book category, Monica Amor is developing a monograph on the Latin American artist Gego. Robert Berlind, the sole New York City critic to receive a short-form writing grant, intends to conduct research travel. Eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
