The Pollock-Krasner Foundation was established in 1985 for the sole purpose of providing financial assistance to individual visual artists of established ability through the generosity of the late Lee Krasner, a leading abstract expressionist painters and the widow of Jackson Pollock. The foundation’s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and demonstrable financial need, whether professional, personal, or both. Applications can be made throughout the year for grants that are intended for a one-year period of time. For more information, visit www.pkf.org.
