Warhol Foundation to Give $4 M.+ in Grants to 57 Arts Organizations

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in New York has announced its fall 2025 grant recipients. The foundation has donated more than $4 million to 57 arts organizations.

The Warhol Foundation is known for its decades of support of arts and cultural organizations, including more than two years of program support, exhibition support, and curatorial research fellowships. For two years of project support, grantees will receive between $60,000 and $180,000 this year, while exhibition support ranges from $35,000 to $100,000.

Fall 2025 grantees hail from 17 states and Washington, D.C., and range from renowned institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Houston, International Independent Curators and Anthology Film Archives to artist-run organizations such as Mini Mart City Park in Seattle and Transformer in Washington, D.C. Additionally, 20 grantees received first-time Warhol Foundation funding, such as Path with Arts in Seattle, Access Gallery in Denver, Galveston Artist Residency in Texas, and Harvester Arts in Wichita, Kansas.

Organizations outside of the Heritage Arts Center are also part of the fall 2025 cohort, including Village Arts in Winona, Minnesota; Catskill Arts Space in Livingston Manor, New York; Living Arts in Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Locate Arts in Knoxville, Tennessee. Two international organizations also received support: the NGO Museum of Contemporary Art in Kyiv and the Lebanese Plastic Arts Association Ashkal Alwan in Beirut.

Supported exhibitions include various solo shows such as Ching Ho Cheng at the Addison Gallery of American Art; Gisela Colón, University of South Florida Museum of Contemporary Art; and Leilah Babirye at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Group exhibitions are also included, such as Telenovelas at the American Society in New York, Counterpublic 2026 Triennial in St. Louis, and Light Comes Softly: An Archive of Tactile Materials at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami.

“Arts organizations of all sizes, operating under increasingly precarious conditions, are looking for ways to not only stay true to their missions but also to increase the critical, curatorial and community resources available to artists,” Rachel Bers, director of programs at the Warhol Foundation, said in a statement. “We applaud their cultivation of artistic experimentation and appreciate the platform they provide for artists’ perspectives, allowing them (and all of us) to forge a path through difficult times to be seen, heard, and engaged.”

The recent funding cycle, which coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the National Endowment for the Arts, one of the other major funders of arts organizations across the country, has made arts funding particularly challenging. The deadline for the Warhol Foundation’s spring 2025 grant cycle was March 1, and the NEA canceled funding entirely about two months later.

The deadline for the fall 2025 cycle is September 1, and for the first time arts organizations have a clearer picture of the arts funding landscape, as evidenced by the number of applications received by foundations. A spokesperson said the Warhol Foundation received nearly 40% more grant applications this cycle than usual, and the size of its grantee pool increased by nearly 20%.

“Recent reductions in government funding for the visual arts, coupled with a cultural infrastructure destabilized by widespread political and economic uncertainty, have significantly undermined support for the entire arts ecosystem,” Warhol Foundation President Joel Wax said in a statement. “The intense pressure this has placed on artists and the organizations that sustain their work reinforces the Foundation’s commitment to supporting and elevating the important work they do.”
