Two small, good things
From the May 2 press release—not yet online— announcing the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts' "Andy Warhol Arts Writing Initiative":
However, in order for writers to do their best work and for its impact to be felt broadly in the culture, the infrastructure of the field must be reinforced and the importance of writers' work recognized and rewarded.The Andy Warhol Arts Writing Initiative takes a two-pronged approach to this task: one aimed at improving the viability of independent, progressive art publications through capacity-building grants and one aimed at sustaining the work of individual arts writers through project-based grants.
