Andy Warhol Foundation Names 2025 Arts Writers Grant Recipients
"The Andy Warhol Foundation named its 2025 Arts Writers Grant recipients, among them past and current ARTnews and Art in America contributors such as Glenn Adamson, Jeremy Lybarger, Zoé Samudzi, and Catherine G. Wagley. The grants consider writers across four categories: Articles, Books, Short-Form Writing, and Translation. The latter was introduced this cycle with a $30,000 purse to those translating books on contemporary visual art into English. A total of $1.04 million will be distributed to 31 writers this year in grants ranging from $15,000 to $50,000."
""By engaging deeply with works of art, exploring cultural and political contexts, and drawing connections across diverse periods and practices, arts writers broadcast artists' voices far beyond gallery walls, reflecting-and shaping-critical issues in the social, political, and cultural landscape," Joel Wachs, president of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, said in a statement. "The Arts Writers Grant honors excellence in the field, and celebrates the generative role arts writing plays in creative and intellectual spheres.""
""It is heartening to see the bold work and urgent issues being addressed by the 2025 Arts Writers Grantees," Pradeep Dalal, director of the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant, said in a statement. "The incisive criticism and expansive scholarship of this year's grantees underscore the invaluable role of visual art in our lives today.""
The Andy Warhol Foundation awarded Arts Writers Grants for 2025 to 31 recipients, including contributors to ARTnews and Art in America.
