I wonder how much I paid in taxes for Sanford Biggers to create such a hideous sculpture. Without the Donald the trough is open for business.
I had to look: Today the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) announced $1.5 million in grants to help New York City’s cultural institutions build back a more equitable culture and experience after months of closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The six-figure grants will underwrite major exhibitions by women and artists of color—including Sanford Biggers: Codeswitch at the Bronx Museum and Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And at the Brooklyn Museum—as well as programs that highlight local artists and storytellers working throughout the five boroughs.
This initiative of the RBF Culpeper Arts & Culture program will support a range of exhibitions, programs, residencies, and other projects that provide greater visibility and opportunities for artists who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, as well as for women and LGBTQ artists, whose work continues to be underrepresented in major American museums.
