Inspiring Words: Arts Writing Grants

From the submission guidelines for The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program:

"strives to honor and encourage writing about art

  • that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent, and precise;
  • in which a keen engagement with the present is infused with an appreciation of the historical;
  • that is neither afraid to take a stand nor content to deliver authoritative pronouncements, but serves rather to pose questions and to generate new possibilities for thinking about, seeing, and making art;
  • that is sensitive to both the importance and difficulty of situating aesthetic objects within their broader social and political contexts;
  • that does not dilute or sidestep complex ideas but renders accessible their meaning and value;
  • that creatively challenges the limits of existing conventions without valorizing novelty as an end in itself."
