The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program supports writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art through grants issued directly to individual authors. It aims to strengthen the field as a whole and to ensure that critical writing remains a valued mode of engaging the visual arts.

The Arts Writers Grant Program issues awards for articles, blogs, books, new and alternative media, and short-form writing. It aims to support the broad spectrum of writing on contemporary visual art, from general-audience criticism to academic scholarship.

In partnership with the International Association of Art Critics/USA Section, the Arts Writers Grant Program also offers applicants the opportunity to strengthen their work through one-on-one consultations with leading art critics.
