It’s a good day for one Atlanta-based arts nonprofit — and at the same time, the entire city. New York’s Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts awarded ART PAPERS with a fat $100,000 unrestricted grant to help support programming over two years. Said programming includes the bi-annual print magazine, free public lecture series ART PAPERS LIVE, artist project commission series ART PAPERS LEARN, and its newly relaunched exhibitions program. Helluva way to kick of an organization’s 40th year doing big things for the arts in the South.

ART PAPERS Executive Director Saskia Benjamin said in a press release to expect some very big, very exciting new projects in 2016.

“ART PAPERS’ programming for 2016 reflects both our heritage as an integral part of the Atlanta creative community, and our commitment to showing how these locally inspired conversations can contribute to national and global dialogues,” ART PAPERS Editor and Artistic Director Victoria Camblin said in the same press release.
