About: Teiger Foundation currently offers grants for US-based, curator-led initiatives in contemporary visual art. They support group exhibitions, single-artist surveys, participatory and community-engaged art projects, digital exhibitions, live and virtual performance in the context of the visual arts, and as-yet-unknown curatorial forms involving contemporary visual art and artists.
The Foundation supports curators' growth and development as they work in or in partnership with organizations of all sizes. They value fresh ideas and formats, knowledge exchange and collaboration, resource sharing, responses to urgent conditions, and new approaches to working with artists, institutions, and communities. The Foundation supports the development and realization of new projects and deepening and extending the value of existing projects.
Selections are made by a rotating jury of peers supported by Teiger staff, including past grantees. These curators, artists, and arts professionals represent a range of locations, career stages, organizational affiliations, and areas of expertise.
Teiger Foundation honors the vision of founder David Teiger (1929-2014), who, in his lifetime, championed professionals who pursued their own paths in making exhibitions, leading organizations, conducting research, and pursuing other aspects of curatorial practice.
In dialogue with artists and other art workers, curators are thinkers and leaders who play multiple and changing roles in their organizations and communities. Teiger Foundation’s goal is to support these activities and their continued reinvention.
