Grant Description
Grants to USA arts organizations, museums, and educational institutions for arts programs and endeavors. Funding is intended to enhance visual arts offerings through museum exhibitions, scholarly works, arts education, and more. All applicants must be nonprofit organizations.
The Foundation supports museum exhibitions, art education programs, scholarly publications and art history lectureships that complement the strengths of the Robert Lehman Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and advance the goal of identifying the Foundation with serious scholarly and creative endeavors. The art education programs the Foundation supports share the goal of providing art education to underserved communities that have insufficient access to any type of arts learning. The Foundation believes that access to the arts improves the lives of individuals and communities.
