The Center For Italian Modern Art Announces Receipt Of A Significant Grant From The Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts

Today, the Center for Italian Modern Art announces that it is the recipient of a $60,000 grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The Spring 2023 grant program recognizes arts organizations and museums for their visual arts programming, exhibitions, and research initiatives that provide critical support to artists. CIMA joins a rich roster of 49 distinguished organizations and museums to receive the funding from the Spring 2023 grant, which totals $4 million.

CIMA will use the funds to host a series of public events that will feature discussions between contemporary artists, curators, critics, and scholars to illuminate the current day resonance of its upcoming exhibition, Transatlantic Bridges: Corrado Cagli, 1938-1948(October 12, 2023 – January 27, 2024), showcasing works by Italian artist Corrado Cagli (1910-1076). As a Jewish and openly gay artist, Cagli addressed issues such as exile and diaspora, political and gender oppression, and racism. 

CIMA is one of 18 museums, university art galleries, and art centers that received grants in support of large-scale solo and group exhibitions that cover a range of timely topics. 

In accordance with Andy Warhol’s will, the mission of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is the advancement of the visual arts. The foundation manages a dynamic grants program while also preserving Warhol’s legacy through creative and responsible licensing policies and extensive scholarly research for ongoing catalogue raisonné projects. To date, the foundation has given $280 million in cash grants to over 1,000 arts organizations in 49 states.
