Teiger Foundation shifts to biennial grants, awards $7 million to 85 US curators in 2025

In 2025, the Teiger Foundation will distribute $7 million in grants to 85 curators across the United States, a notable increase from the $3.9 million awarded in 2024. Each recipient will receive between $50,000 and $150,000 to aid in research, exhibition creation, and touring initiatives. A significant change in the funding approach has been revealed, transitioning the program from an annual to a biennial schedule starting in 2025, which aims to enhance investment and provide longer-term support for grantees. John Silberman, president of the foundation's board, emphasized their dedication to curators who contribute to and reshape the cultural scene. The grant program, initiated in 2023, previously called for proposals annually, with the full list of 2025 recipients available in the foundation's announcement.
