The Luminary’s Artistic Director is one of 39 curators and curatorial teams throughout the United States to receive a grant as part of the Foundation’s inaugural Call for Proposals.

We are thrilled to announce that The Luminary has received a Teiger Foundation grant in support of 3 years of curatorial programming. The Luminary is one of 39 curators and curatorial teams throughout the United States to receive a grant as part of the Foundation’s inaugural Call for Proposals.

The new grantmaking program addresses gaps in funding for contemporary art curators with awards addressing the full sweep of curatorial activities, including community integration of traveling exhibitions, climate-conscious curatorial practices, multi-year programming, research and the development of major exhibitions, coalition-building, and more. This grant will allow Artistic Director Kalaija Mallery to engage in curatorial research, collaborate with other curators and artists across cities and states, and to co-produce innovative and experimental arts exhibitions.

Committed to experimentation, community building, and positive structural change within the field of contemporary art, the Foundation awarded a total of $3.3 million through its inaugural Call for Proposals. The full list of grantees can be found at teigerfoundation.org.
