Exhibition Grant

Overview

Mission

Artis supports contemporary artists from Israel whose work addresses aesthetic, social, and political questions that inspire reflection and debate. Artis is a nonprofit organization based in New York.

Our Work

Our programs facilitate opportunities for arts professionals to connect with artists from Israel; foster artist engagement with the art world outside of Israel; and contextualize art from Israel within international contemporary art discourse.

Exhibition Grants Overview

Artis’ exhibition grants provide support for solo and group presentations at internationally recognized contemporary art organizations, such as museums, nonprofits, biennials, and festivals outside of Israel that present artists from Israel. Artis seeks to support exhibitions and projects that encourage critical thinking, foster discussion, and create new connections across disciplines and cultures. Artis prioritizes proposals from leading museums and art institutions worldwide for exhibitions with significant visibility that propose meaningful and innovative formats for engaging with artistic practice. Applications for exhibition grants are received from the exhibiting institution and are reviewed by an international panel of contemporary art professionals.

Funding priorities / Who we fund

Through the Exhibition Grant program, Artis supports the work of artists from Israel, presented in an international context of dialogue and exchange at leading art institutions. Artis prioritizes funding for programs that demonstrate curatorial ambition and artistic experimentation.

Artis is particularly interested in exhibition proposals that address urgent environmental issues on a local and global scale. We invite exhibition proposals that grapple with the climate crisis and its intersections with politics and public discourse. We are also interested in receiving applications from institutions that practice climate-consciousness in their daily operations and exhibition-making. The Artis Board and staff recognize global warming as an urgent issue of our time, and one that exacerbates numerous other crises globally. With this said, Artis is dedicated to working collectively with our colleagues towards creating an environmentally sustainable art world.
