The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce the award of $609,500 for grants to organizations including innovative projects led by eminent and emerging architects, artists, curators, filmmakers, historians, and publishers, among other professionals. Selected from over 200 proposals, the 53 awarded projects support work that continues to advocate for engaging original ideas that advance our understanding of the designed environment.

Grantee organizations hail from cities such as Bogotá, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Lisbon, London, Mexico City, Montréal, Los Angeles, New York, Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago, where the Graham Foundation is based. They join a worldwide network of individuals and institutions that the Graham Foundation has funded through the award of more than 4,450 grants over the past 62 years—including support for over 750 organizations—in its role as one of the most significant funders in the field of architecture.
