The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts announced today $480,000 in new grants to organizations to support 42 projects that engage original ideas in architecture. These grants enable organizations to produce exhibitions, publications, new media initiatives, conferences, and other programs that claim new ground in architectural discourse and create public forums for innovative and challenging ideas. Our new grantees join a distinguished community of individuals and organizations whom the Graham Foundation has supported over the past 58 years in its role as one of the few funders in the field of architecture.

The awarded projects were selected from a competitive pool of over 200 submissions representing 15 countries. The new grantees comprise a diverse range of national and international organizations in cities such as Istanbul, Leeds, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Milan, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, Houston, and Chicago. They include art and architecture museums, non-profit galleries, colleges and universities, independent publishers and journals, and other organizations.
