Furthering its mission to support the development and exchange of ideas about architecture and design, the Graham Foundation announces the award of 36 grants to organizations. These projects include exhibitions, publications, digital initiatives, and other public presentations led by organizations based in cities such as Accra, Buenos Aires, Colombo, London, New York, St. Louis, Toronto, and Chicago, where the Graham Foundation is based. Together, these organizations support the work of architects, artists, designers, critics, curators, scholars, and others, to explore new possibilities for the field and engage practitioners and publics worldwide.

The new grantees join a global network of organizations and individuals that the Graham Foundation has supported since its founding in 1956. In that time, the Foundation has awarded more than $42 million in direct support to nearly 5,000 projects by organizations and individuals.
