Graham Foundation Announces 2022 Individual Grant Recipients
The Graham Foundation announced the awarding of 56 new grants to individuals exploring ideas that expand contemporary understanding of architecture. Winners were selected from an open call that resulted in nearly 500 submissions. The selected projects are led by 81 people with diverse backgrounds. Funded projects, including exhibitions, publications, films and podcasts, among other formats, encourage experimentation and foster critical discourse in architecture.
The Graham Foundation for Advanced Study in the Fine Arts fosters the development and exchange of diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its role in the arts, culture and society. This year’s winners will join a global network of individuals that the Graham Foundation has supported since 1956. During that time, the institution has awarded more than $42 million in direct support to nearly 5,000 individual projects and of organizations.
