Descripción del Premio

Art Matters considers applications by invitation only. Through our current program, Art Matters provides 7,500 USD fellowships to individual artists and collective teams working in contemporary art and performance. Priority is given to artists working with social issues and experimenting with form. Our funds can be used for any and all aspects of artistic practice – from early research and development of ideas, to travel costs, to production and presentation expenses, to day to day material or space needs. Art Matters began as the brainchild of philanthropist Laura Donnelley, who wanted to assist artists struggling to say something with bite and punch, artists who made “art that mattered.” Incorporated in 1985 as a non-profit private foundation, Art Matters’ mission was to support experimentation in art, both in media and ideas. Donnelley assembled a board of professionals in the field with breadth and diversity of knowledge, and provided the operating and grant money for the first six years. Art Matters gave fellowships to individual artists and, to a lesser degree, funding for the organizations that sponsored and presented new work, most often the alternative and artist run spaces. The foundation tried to make it easy for artists to apply by eschewing lengthy applications, and made the turn-around time for receiving funds as short as possible. Art Matters chose to give small grants to many artists rather than larger ones to fewer. Need was simply assumed, and promise, rather than accomplishment, was the issue.
