Graham Foundation Awards over $490,000 in Grants to Individuals in 2016
May 12, 2016
The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce over $490,000 in new grants to individuals around the world to support 59 innovative projects engaging original ideas in architecture. Among the funded projects are exhibitions, publications, films, live performances, and site-specific installations. These diverse projects advance new scholarship, fuel creative experimentation and critical dialogue, and expand opportunities for public engagement with architecture and its role in contemporary society.
This year’s awarded projects were selected from a competitive pool of 640 submissions from individuals representing 42 countries. The funded projects are being undertaken by individuals and collaborative teams—94 individuals in total—who include architects, designers, curators, filmmakers, visual artists, musicians, and writers from around the world in cities such as Mexico City, Montreal, Athens, Brussels, Stockholm, Cape Town, and Chicago, where the Graham Foundation is based. They join an international network of over 4,000 individuals and institutions that the Graham Foundation has supported over the past 60 years in its role as one of the most significant funders in the field of architecture.
