About the Foundation
The ADAA Foundation, established in 1970, is a separate but related entity to the ADAA. Our Foundation has provided grants to museums, archives, and arts organizations nationwide to support art historical research and exhibition development.
The Foundation’s current grant program assists U.S. museums and arts institutions with operating budgets of up to six million dollars. Each year, the Foundation invites randomly selected institutions to submit proposals for funding to support the development of new art exhibitions, educational programs, and community engagement initiatives, including those promoting equity, access, and representation within our field.
Below is a list of forthcoming projects and exhibitions from ADAA Foundation grant recipients.
