STUDIO MUSEUM RECEIVES $1M MELLON GRANT

The Studio Museum in Harlem has received a three-year $1,000,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to produce and finance their curatorial program. Director Thelma Golden says, “This grant represents an exciting new chapter at the museum, a profound investment that will stoke the framework of our entire institutional structure. The fund’s vital support will advance research, scholarship, and publications, the three programmatic branches that form the core of the museum’s activities. By investing in the essence of our mission––exhibiting, documenting, and facilitating dialogue about art by artists of African descent, the Mellon Curatorial Fund will enrich our programming and help us better serve our diverse audience base locally, nationally, and internationally. We are honored by the Mellon Foundation’s recognition and generosity.”
