FREE ENTRY / Printed Matter Publisher Work Grant

The program offers funding to independent presses with a history of artists’ book publishing, acknowledging awardees’ accomplishments in past work and providing the capacity-building funds to enable future book projects and publisher sustainability. In 2024, three unrestricted grants of $10,000 USD will be awarded to three independent artists’ book publishers. Printed Matter will also extend a featured exhibitor presence at a forthcoming Printed Matter’s NY or LA Art Book Fair to selected presses.

Applications will be reviewed by Printed Matter and a guest jury, taking into account past work of the imprint, the strength of upcoming projects outlined, and the potential impact of the award.
