AICA-USA is pleased to continue its partnership with The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program to give practicing writers the opportunity to strengthen their work through one-on-one consultations with leading art critics, many of whom are AICA-USA members. Focusing on the craft of writing, the workshop will use participants’ writing samples as a springboard for an in-depth consideration of such issues as voice, prose style, organizational structure, and argumentation. Ten applicants are chosen each year to participate.
