Nancy Graves Foundation Receives Ruth Foundation for the Arts Grant

The Nancy Graves Foundation is thrilled to announce that we are a Ruth Arts Grantee! 

Today, the Ruth Foundation for the Arts announced 15 arts organizations that will receive support for projects centered on the intrinsic relationship between place and creativity. The Nancy Graves Foundation gratefully acknowledges this support and is tremendously honored to be among the inaugural recipients of the Sites & Stewardship grants.

The Nancy Graves Foundation will use this funding to embark on digitizing curated selections of Nancy Graves’ vast collection of research images and documents in order to connect these sources to her artwork so that artists, curators, scholars, students, and others can access and explore the breadth of her visual language and the creative process behind her work. We are honored to be among the inaugural recipients of this program.

Supported by the late Ruth DeYoung Kohler II, Ruth Arts launched in 2022, providing funding to nonprofit arts organizations nationwide.

The Nancy Graves Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2022 Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists.

Established through a provision of the artist’s Last Will and Testament, the Foundation has supported the work and artistic development of individual artists since 2001. This year’s grantees include Abigail DeVille, Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, Adrienne Elise Tarver, and Shoshanna Weinberger. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized.

Abigail DeVille is a multidisciplinary artist who works in the Bronx, NY. Her site-specific projects often take the form of guerrilla street performances, costumes, theatrical sets, installations, paintings, and sculptures. DeVille will use the grant funding to make a series of experimental stone lithographs based on her grandfather’s poetry that will ultimately become a printed book. Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio is a sculptor, printmaker, and painter who lives and works in Altadena, CA. Rodolfo Aparicio will use the grant funding to incorporate new materials into his work through a collaboration with a glass factory in Jalisco, Mexico. Adrienne Elise Tarver is a Brooklyn, NY based artist who works primarily in painting and also sculpture, installation, textiles, photography, and video. Tarver will use the grant funding to work with ceramics inspired by the root systems of mangrove trees—a progression from the tropical foliage that appears in her previous work. Shoshanna Weinberger is an artist who works in water-based media such as ink, gouache, collage, and mixed media on paper or panel who is based in Newark, NJ. Weinberger plans to use funding to begin a project titled 202 Mountain View, in which she will recreate her grandmother’s veranda in Kingston, Jamaica using hand made ceramic tiles.

Each artist will receive an award of $12,500.
