The Jonathan and Barbara Silver Foundation is committed to supporting the field of sculpture. The JBSF grant program operates on a 2-year cycle, with alternating grants that support writing in even years and sculpture in odd years. The sculpture grant application will be available in 2027.
The recipient of the writer’s grant will be able to demonstrate a serious commitment to writing about sculpture, through fresh thinking on the history, aesthetics, purposes, imagination and/or situation of sculpture.
Supported categories of writing include essays and books. Types of writing that are supported include art criticism, art history, memoir, psychoanalytical study, philosophical meditation and literary study.
The project is expected to be completed within 1 year of receiving the award.
