This year the 32 grant programs have awarded over $1.9 million of Warhol funds directly to artists impacted by Covid-19, and the partners have leveraged over $1 million in additional relief funding to expand the support in communities across the country. In response to the pandemic, the Warhol Foundation doubled the program from 16 to 32 regranting partners nationwide. ![]() Before the pandemic, these programs supported well over 1000 independent art projects over a period of ten years, granting more than $4.7 million to independent artists for their art projects. The Regional Regranting Program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts aims to support vibrant, under-the-radar artistic activity by partnering with leading cultural institutions in communities across the country. These foundations and organizations teamed up to make a difference during this time of need for so many artists.

The pandemic is disproportionally affecting communities of color and artists are particularly vulnerable due to their tendencies to hold multiple part-time jobs, be employed as contract workers or as part of the gig economy, and to rely on trade-show or craft/art fairs to sell their work. The Fulcrum Fund, a grant program of 516 ARTS and a partner in the Regional Regranting Program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, gave 255 Covid-relief grants totaling $321,000 in 20 to independent visual artists and artspaces in New Mexico. ![]() ![]() Image: Adrian Wall, granite prototype for sculptural component for installationĥ16 ARTS distributes over a quarter of a million dollars to support local artists and artspaces during the pandemic. Reconnecting - Time, Self and the Celestial is a working celestial calendar that creates a place for reflection–a space to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and experience time as days or seasons rather than minutes and seconds. Inspired by the earth works and technology of his Pueblo Ancestors, this project is a site-specific, mixed-media sculptural installation that explores our natural relationship to celestial concepts of time.
