The Pollock-Krasner Foundation’s mission is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as artists over a significant period of time. The Foundation’s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and financial need, whether professional, personal
or both.
It is appropriate to recognize how significant Lee Krasner’s legacy has been in the creation of this Foundation by helping to stabilize and to strengthen the careers of artists, not to mention their personal lives as they do their creative work.
The Foundation is pleased to report that since its inception in 1985, it has awarded 3,569 grants totaling over 54 million dollars to artists in 72 countries.
