Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts is pleased to announce its 2011 Grants to Individuals. Over $500,000 was awarded to 69 grantees. The grantees, who represent a diverse national and international community of architects, scholars, writers, artists, designers, curators, and others, were selected after a highly competitive application process from a pool of over 500 submissions. The awards, up to $15,000 each, will support publications, exhibitions, films, new media initiatives, public programs, and research.

“The direct support of individuals has been an important part of the Graham Foundation’s grant program since its inception,” says Sarah Herda, director of the Graham Foundation. “It is thrilling to carry on this long tradition of support for individuals, whose projects both expand and strengthen the scope of contemporary architectural discourse by engaging a broad range of socio-political, technological, environmental, and aesthetic issues.”

Over its 55-year history, the Graham Foundation has awarded more than 3,900 grants to individuals and organizations—totaling over 32 million dollars.
