Did You Know?

The Greenwall Foundation has closed its funding to emerging artists, after nearly 20 years of grant making in this area. The Foundation's grantmaking will now focus solely on building and enriching the Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics.

The support this foundation offered and the hand it played in shaping the landscape of new and boundary pushing artists and organizations was unparalleled.  Their efforts are an inspiration to all of us.  A final word from Program Officer, Fredrica Jarcho:

“For all the artists who have been assisted by The Foundation’s grants over these years, there are many others who could have been – and perhaps should have been.  The failure to fully appreciate and acknowledge the work of artists who applied for and were declined funding during the past 20 years is something I think about often.  No names here, but they know who they are.  I applaud their efforts and achievements.”
