Arts Writers Grant Program Announces 2009 Grants
www.artswriters.org

The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2009 grant cycle. Designed to encourage and reward writing about contemporary art that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent, and precise, as well as to create a broader audience for arts writing, the program aims to strengthen the field as a whole and to ensure that critical writing remains a valued mode of engaging the visual arts.

In its 2009 cycle, the Arts Writers Grant Program has awarded a total of $710,000 to twenty-six individual writers. These grants range from $5,000 to $50,000 in five categories—articles, blogs, books, new and alternative media, and short-form writing—and support projects addressing both general and specialized art audiences. Representing a range of genres from scholarly studies to self-published blogs, the twenty-six selected projects, listed below within categories, are united by their dual commitment to the craft of writing and the advancement of critical discourse on contemporary visual art.

The NEA Announces a New Presenting Focus
Under the "Access to Artistic Excellence" presenting grant category, the NEA now has a focus that allows for support of Outdoor Multidisciplinary Festivals, Programs and Outdoor Dramas.

The "Access to artistic Excellence" category is designed "to encourage and support artistic excellence, preserve our cultural heritage, and provide access to the arts for all Americans." An organization may request a grant amount from $5,000 to $150,000.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their applications electronically through Grants.gov, the federal government's online application system. Organizations still have the option of submitting an application in paper format but only after contacting Arts Endowment staff to request instructions and material for a paper application and to explain why they can't apply electronically. To apply electronically, organizations need to register with Grants.gov as soon as possible. This one-time registration process must be completed before you can submit your grant application. The process can take two weeks, so it is extremely important that you begin the registration process immediately.
