2022 Art Space Grant Awardees

2022 Art Space Grant Awardees

We are pleased to announce the winners of our 2022 Art Space Grant: Beta-Local and Emergency Support Initiative. Congratulations to these two pivotal arts organizations who will each receive unrestricted funding to support their programs.

Beta-Local is a non-profit organization based in Puerto Rico dedicated to supporting and promoting aesthetic thought and practices through intertwined programs: Laboratorio de investigación artística-histórica, a research and production program for artists and other cultural agents; and a residency program for local artists, curators, thinkers, and makers, to develop projects, workshops, and lectures. They also plan to reopen their library to the public, launch a new editorial project, and begin Máquina simple, a new grant for Puerto Rican visual artists. Learn more about Beta-Local here.

Emergency Support Initiative, which emerged from the 2021 Kyiv Biennial, assists the artistic community of Ukraine in the conditions of war, with the goal of supporting people remaining in the country and providing them with immediate financial relief under the conditions of occupation and/or relocation. These essential efforts include artist residencies, documentary and art projects, and care for museum workers. Learn more about Emergency Support Initiative, or ESI, here.
