The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2022 Biennial Grants. Unrestricted grants of 20,000 USD each have been awarded to 20 artists working in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, craft, and new media. The purpose is to give artists the opportunity to produce new work and push the boundaries of their creativity. A full-color catalogue documenting the work of grant recipients will be published this spring.

Established in 1918 by Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of the founder of Tiffany & Company, the Foundation remains one of the largest single sources of monetary grants to artists working in America today. The Foundation–one of the earliest artist-endowed foundations and the first created by an artist during their lifetime– began as a summer residency for artists and craftspeople, at Laurelton Hall, Tiffany’s estate at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Following Tiffany’s death in 1933, the residency program continued until 1946, when the estate was sold, and the Foundation shifted its mission.
