Printed Matter, a non-profit organization dedicated to the distribution, understanding, and appreciation of artists’ books and related publications, is pleased to announce the Publisher Work Grant, a new cycle of unrestricted grants available to independent artists’ book publishers. This opportunity is made possible with the generous support of Wagner Foundation.
The program offers funding to independent presses with a history of artists’ book publishing, acknowledging awardees' accomplishments in past work and providing the capacity-building funds to enable future book projects and publisher sustainability. In 2024, three unrestricted grants of $10,000 USD will be awarded to three presses. The selected publishers will also be granted a featured exhibitor presence at a forthcoming Printed Matter NY or LA Art Book Fair.
Applications will be reviewed by Printed Matter and a guest jury, taking into account past work of the imprint, the strength of upcoming projects outlined, and the potential impact of the award.
