Announcing | Rauschenberg Emergency Grants Program

NYFA partners with Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to administer new emergency grant program that will provide one-time grants of up to $5,000 for medical emergencies.

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has partnered with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to administer a new medical emergency grant program called Rauschenberg Emergency Grants. This marks the first phase of a program that will be in the tradition of Change, Inc., a non-profit foundation established in 1970 by Robert Rauschenberg to assist professional artists of all disciplines in need.

Beginning in late May/early June 2020, the program will provide visual and media artists and choreographers with one-time grants of up to $5,000 for medical emergencies. Eligible expenses include, but are not limited to: hospital and doctor bills (including insurance co-pays), tests, physical/occupational therapy, prescription drugs specifically for the emergency medical condition, and emergency dental work. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis and panels will meet monthly to ensure funds are distributed on a timely basis.  

“We are delighted to be partnering with NYFA to launch this program which directly reflects Bob’s own concern for the well-being of fellow creative practitioners. Bob was both responsive and generous in his own giving, and we aim to follow those values in developing the Foundation’s philanthropic initiatives.” said Kathy Halbreich, Executive Director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the United States, District of Columbia, or U.S. Territories and do not need insurance to apply. All eligible applications will be reviewed by a panel and assessed using the following two criteria: demonstrated need and impact of funds to allow the recipient to continue working. There is no deadline to apply, as applications will be accepted and reviewed by a panel on a monthly basis.

“For many artists, healthcare expenses take a back seat to other pressing needs like food, shelter, studio or practice space, and art supplies,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, New York Foundation for the Arts. “As such, we are excited to partner with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to help ease some of the financial burdens that artists face following a medical emergency and help them to get back to work,” he added.

This project is supported by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

More from my trip to SFMOMA ✨ I went to see the Robert Rauschenberg Retrospective that I have been chasing since last year at this time when it was in London and then in NY. I was determined not to miss it now that it was so much closer..... and it was worth the wait. This series of small images connected with zippers and along three walls had me thinking it was a precursor to Instagram. Show is up till the 25th if you are in the neighborhood 💥 . . . . . . #sfmoma #robertrauschenberg #robertrauschenbergfoundation #sanfrancisco #ig #instagram #visionary #art #artist #kunst #kunstler #abstractart #berlinstagram #LAartist #losangelesartist #dtlaartist #michellevictoria #michellevictoriaart #painting #abstractpainting #newcontemporary #artforsale #contemporaryart #abstractart #emergingartist #abstraktekunst #LA #losangeles #losangelesart #loftliving #design #interiordesign #artforsale #artsy #womeninart #womenartists #courageouscreative #LAlocal (at SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art)

LONDON: We cannot wait for this one! 🙀This November, the @Tate Modern in London will present the work of American artist #RobertRauschenberg. It is the first major exhibition of his work in the UK for 35 years and the first retrospective of Rauschenberg’s (since his death in 2008). His work is extremely important, and continues to influence to this day. #Rauschenberg was known to never accept conventional categories of what was and wasn’t art, and his boundless curiosity was almost a one-of-a-kind. He created innovative works through endless mediums - from painting to performance art. (Photo: Robert Rauschenberg Pearl Street studio c1955 The #RobertRauschenbergFoundation (New York, USA)

PARIS: ❕#MarcelDuchamp’s ‘Porte-bouteilles’ sculpture. One of five surviving variants of Duchamp’s first pure ‘ready-made’s, this is a completely rare happening, and it will be sold next month through the @ThaddeusRopac gallery and the #RobertRauschenbergfoundation, which currently owns the piece. It is only available for purchase by a public museum (not to a private collector). Incredible. (Photo by #GlennSteigelman)
