From the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation:
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.
