About
Independent artists' book publishers apply for unrestricted grants to support future book projects and publisher sustainability.
Overview
The Printed Matter Publisher Work Grant is an annual cycle of unrestricted grants available to artists' book publishers, made possible with the generous support of Wagner Foundation. Now in its third year, the program offers funding to independent presses with a history of artists' book publishing, acknowledging awardees' accomplishments in past work and providing capacity-building funds to enable future book projects and publisher sustainability.
Award
In 2026, 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 NY or LA Art Book Fair to selected presses.
Review criteria
Applications will be reviewed by Printed Matter and a guest jury, taking into account past work and contributions of the imprint, the strength of upcoming projects outlined, and the potential impact of the award.
