The Haven Foundation Grant
The mission of The Haven Foundation is to offer interim financial assistance to freelance professionals in the arts who face crises. The Foundation’s reach in the United States and its awards are granted with a view to helping individuals overcome temporary adversity and return to full-time work.
In the summer of 1999, I was struck by a careless driver and nearly killed while taking my daily walk. It was ten months before I was able to work productively again. Some years later, a good friend of mine, audio reader Frank Muller, suffered terrible head injuries as a result of a motorcycle accident. He never worked again. My luck was infinitely better than Muller’s, but the two events set me thinking about the uniquely perilous situation of many freelance artists. The majority of mid-list writers, audio readers, and freelancers in the book and publishing industry have little or no financial cushion in the event of a sudden catastrophic accident such as that suffered by Muller and myself. Many aren’t affiliated with any professional associations or guilds that can help them in the event of such reversals. Even those who are affiliated with organizations such as The Authors’ Guild cannot look for much beyond token help over a short period of time.
My response to this has been the creation of The Haven Foundation. Its goals will be threefold:
First, to establish a compassionate and committed group of board members willing to sift through cases and identify those where the need seems to be the greatest. These “greatest need” cases would be freelance members of the fine arts community – who have found themselves unable to work due to disease or accident. We will also focus on freelancers who lost their homes and workspaces (with freelancers these are often the same) as a result of natural disasters or other catastrophic events.
Second, to help a number of these individuals each year, based on need.
Third, to establish cut-off points for such help. As I have discovered, the decision to cut off aid is an agonizing one, and best made by a group rather than by an individual. I have come to believe, however, that it must be made if help is to be rendered to the many rather than the few.

The Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation Emergency Grant
The Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant program is intended to provide interim financial assistance to qualified painters, printmakers, and sculptors whose needs are the result of an unforeseen, catastrophic incident, and who lack the resources to meet that situation. Each grant is given as one-time assistance for a specific emergency, examples of which are fire, flood, or emergency medical need.

Artists’ Fellowship Inc. Grant
The Artists' Fellowship, Inc. is a charitable foundation that assists professional fine artists (painters, graphic artists, printmakers, sculptors) and their families in times of emergency, disability, or bereavement. The Artists' Fellowship's Board of Trustees and Officers all serve as volunteers in service to our community of artists. Assistance is given without expectation of repayment. One does not need to be a member of the Fellowship to receive assistance; neither does membership in the Artists' Fellowship entitle one to assistance from the foundation.
The Artists' Fellowship, Inc. has absolutely no affiliation with city, state, or federal programs that provide "Artist Fellowships," neither are we affiliated with other foundations that provide "Artist Fellowships."

Monuments to Unknown Heroes: Presenting the ways we memorialize while questioning the underpinnings of public monuments
Curated by Amara Antilla, CAC Senior Curator at Large
On view from April 28 through August 27, 2023
Contemporary Arts Center
Cincinnati, Ohio
Monuments to Unknown Heroes is a participatory installation that investigates how we ascribe value in the context of public monuments. The project brings together nearly a hundred responses that imagine monuments to under-recognized or unknown heroes. Each artist was asked to respond to the prompt, “Who or what is deserving of public commemoration yet has been overlooked?”
This installation is an expansion upon a call for submissions that originally took place in the days following the start of the pandemic. Initiated by conceptual artist and pedagogue Luis Camnitzer, this visual archive captures various perspectives on the ways in which we memorialize. The project also raises questions about the socio-political and economic underpinnings that typically accompany the production of public monuments. The shortfalls of America’s public monuments have received heightened scrutiny in the years following the social justice protests of 2020. Subsequent nationwide campaigns called for the removal or renaming of monuments, streets, and sites that refer to legacies of the Confederacy, settler colonialism, and violence. Traditional monuments often depict male military heroes celebrating acts of war and abuses of power. However, the most heroic acts are often those performed anonymously and without expectations of recognition or reward.
For this presentation, an updated call for proposals was circulated to local and international artists inviting a reflection on the ways in which the people, places, or histories we value ought to be commemorated. Some participants approached this prompt with humor or irony, crafting monuments to honor “second chances” or the “unknown psychotherapist.” Others take a serious look at the ways in which more complex and inclusive national, cultural, and personal histories might occupy our public sites. These proposals include designs for monuments to unknown factory workers, migrants, mothers, and front-line workers, among others. This installation imagines a future in which those who rarely get recognized are seen as society's true heroes, thereby transforming the fabric of our cities and our collective memory.
A portion of the submissions are displayed in the CAC Lobby, and additional works can be viewed on the CAC’s website. You can also scan the QR code found near the installation and on the back of this brochure.
Organized by Amara Antilla, Senior Curator, Contemporary Arts Center.
__________________
Artist and pedagogue, Luis Camnitzer presents a series of posters by more than 100 artists depicting proposals for monuments to under-recognized heroes. Originally organized in the days following the pandemic, this visual archive captures various perspectives on the ways in which we memorialize, while raising questions about the socio-political and economic underpinnings that typically accompany the production of public monuments.
The image usually associated with the word "hero" is of a male in military garb. Monuments celebrate individuals perceived as having done a significant service, too often in dubious causes, for powerful interests. Yet, most heroic acts are anonymous and performed as help to fellow citizens, often with implications that call into question the legitimacy of those financing monuments.
This project is designed to fill a cultural gap and celebrate those members of society who are not memorialized in spite of being indispensable to check abuses of power, nurse our mental and physical health, and in general help maintain our well-being as a species in a livable environment.
Organized by artist and educator, Luis Camnitzer, the first iteration of the exhibition took place virtually in June 2020 at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This second iteration is organized by the Center of Contemporary Art, Cincinnati (CAC) and by the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín (MAMM). Works will be printed to be physically shown in sponsored spaces.(*)
(*) CAC will exhibit selected works in the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. MAMM will organize a series of exhibits in schools of Medellín institutions and assign the topic for student work. Prints will be destroyed after being exhibited. Images may be used for publicity purposes.

Proyectos Raul Zamudio and Empty Circle are pleased to present You Don’t Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows. If the title of this exhibition seems familiar, it may be because one, two or numerous reasons. Originally, the phrase appears as part of the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s famous song Subterranean Homesick Blues. And the other source is equally as famous or in this case infamous: it inspired the moniker of the American, left-wing, armed guerilla group known as the Weather Underground.
The organization was an offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society that were political activists in the 1960s, and then a handful of its members decided to take their ideologies to their logical, violent conclusion culminating in the destruction of a Greenwich Village townhouse due to explosive manufacture, and the robbery of an armored truck and the deaths of three of its personnel.
This international, mixed-media group exhibition is no paean to the Weather Underground; but takes the original source that became a social and political barometer of the 1960s and transposes it to the 2023 global landscape rife with its own social and political turmoil. The artworks exhibited address a myriad of issues that at first sight may seem personal, but as the ‘60s adage goes, the personal can be political. Other works more directly interrogate our current milieu by exploring the topical, while other works address our contemporary quagmire through history. While the artworks can be appreciated through their individual narrativity, in unison the truly act like a social weather report in alerting us to the disasters that await us if we not collectively act to avoid them.
