Graham Foundation announces 2021 grants for organizations

The Graham Foundation has announced the recipients of 45 grants to organizations around the world. These projects include exhibitions, publications, digital initiatives, and other public presentations led by organizations based in cities such as Atlanta, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, New Orleans, and Chicago, where the Graham Foundation is based. 

Together, these organizations support the work of eminent and emerging 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 individuals and organizations that the Graham Foundation has supported over the past 65 years.
