Atlantic Center for the Arts is honored to receive a $100,000 Multi-Year Program Support Grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to support ACA’s Mentoring Artists-in-Residence Program.
“Atlantic Center for the Arts is an important residency program with a unique model that has been the source of many productive and lasting connections between artists of different generations and career stages,” says Rachel Bers, Program Director of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, “We are pleased to support the opportunities for creative growth and career development that its mentorship-based structure provides to artists.” at
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts awarded $4.1 million to 49 museums and arts organizations in support of exhibitions and programs that bolster artists and highlight lesser-known voices.
ACA is one of only two artists communities that safely presented core-mission residency opportunities over the pandemic in late 2020 and continues to do so. The 200 artists who will attend residencies in 2022-23 will have the intellectual freedom, time, and space to create without constraints, and to explore and develop peer-to-peer collaborations and networks. Atlantic Center for the Arts has hosted over 180 interdisciplinary residencies, featuring over 540 Mentoring Artists and over 4,100 Associate Artists from around the world.
