The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, established in 1985 by Lee Krasner, a prominent abstract expressionist painter, is dedicated to providing financial support to individual visual artists worldwide. With over 5,000 grants awarded to professional artists and organizations in 79 countries, totaling more than $87 million, the foundation aims to enable artists to focus on their work by offering funding for various purposes, including creating new artwork, acquiring supplies, renting studio space, preparing for exhibitions, attending residencies, and covering living expenses.
In addition to supporting individual artists, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation also provides grants to non-profit organizations that engage directly with artists, such as museums, by funding exhibitions, artist residency programs, and supporting exhibitions and scholarship related to the artwork of Krasner and Pollock. The foundation also recognizes artistic achievement through the Lee Krasner Award, given to artists with distinguished careers, and the Pollock Prize for Creativity, which honors outstanding artists whose work embodies high creative standards and demonstrates the impact of art on individuals and society.
