The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has announced its 2025 Arts Writers Grant recipients, awarding a total of $1.04 million to 31 writers. The grants, ranging from $15,000 to $50,000, are distributed across four categories: Articles, Books, Short-Form Writing, and a newly introduced Translation category with a $30,000 purse for translating books on contemporary visual art into English. Recipients include past and current contributors to ARTnews and Art in America, such as Glenn Adamson, Jeremy Lybarger, Zoé Samudzi, and Catherine G. Wagley.
Since its inception in 2006, the program has supported over 450 writers with more than $13.5 million in funding, aiming to ensure critical writing remains a vital mode of engaging with visual arts. The grants highlight the role of arts writers in broadcasting artists' voices and shaping critical issues in the cultural landscape. The introduction of the Translation category this year underscores a growing commitment to making international art scholarship accessible to English-speaking audiences, reflecting the foundation's broader mission to foster diverse and rigorous arts criticism.
