Joan Mitchell Foundation Inc

Artist centered programs - the foundation runs a set of artist-centered programs that fulfill Joan Mitchell's ambition to "aid and assist" artists through grants, residencies, and related initiatives. The foundation currently administers the following programs. The annual fellowship program, expanding its former painters and sculptors grants, provide grants of $60,000 each to a group of fifteen artists over five years. In the event of an urgent and relevant disaster, throug emergency grants, the foundation provides either direct emergency support of up to $6,000 to artists or provides funding to be regranted by regional partners. Emergency support is focused on artists impacted by manmade or natural disasters. Additionally, the creating a living legacy (call) initiative recognizes that artists of all ages may need support to organize their studios and take charge of their creative legacies, and provides them with a comprehensive suite of resources to start the legacy process.
