"The Teiger Foundation, a US-based non-profit devoted to supporting art curators, has revealed its 2025 grantees-providing a total of $7m to 85 curators at institutions across the country. These numbers nearly double last year's grants, as the organisation prepares to move into a biennial model (the next grant application deadline will be in January 2027). Individual grants range between $50,000 and $150,000 for exhibitions, research, touring shows and support for three years of programming."
"For example, the curators Ryan N. Dennis, Annalise Flynn and Yaphet Smith of the Arts Foundation of Kosciusko will receive a grant to organise the first major survey devoted to the late artist L.V. Hull. The show will take place concurrently at the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson and at the artist's former home in Kosciusko, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places last year."
"She adds that while the foundation's Climate Action for Curators initiative is currently on hold, "we have decided to integrate resilience and emergency planning into the programme, alongside reducing emissions and waste". Harris notes that a number of grantees, both from 2024 and 2025, are interested in "serving their communities in times of disaster", an area in which the Teiger Foundation is far from expert."
The Teiger Foundation provided $7 million in 2025 grants to 85 curators across the United States, nearly doubling the previous year’s funding and shifting to a biennial model. Individual awards range from $50,000 to $150,000 and support exhibitions, research, touring shows and three years of programming. Many 2025 grantees work at smaller or more remote institutions, including a major survey of artist L.V. Hull staged at both the Mississippi Museum of Art and the artist’s former home. The foundation is integrating resilience and emergency planning into its programmes while pausing a standalone Climate Action initiative.
