America is changing. Extraordinary demographic shifts in race and ethnicity, language, age, education, and income are taking place throughout the United States. As America changes, so are its arts.

With the support of the Ford Foundation, LINC launched Artography: Arts in a Changing America, a pilot grant and documentation program whose primary vision is to identify and support exemplary art making within an expanding realm of cultural aesthetics. ARTOGRAPHY seeks rigorous artistic practice that provides leadership within a changing demographic terrain in order to learn from and with field exemplars. Artography raises the questions: How are the arts changing in the 21st century? How are aesthetic and organizational models evolving and how can we best capture and share learning about these practices? What new conceptual frameworks and common language are needed to describe and respond to our evolving cultural realities?

Artography’s goals are to:

• Support artistically exemplary, diverse, and community-responsive arts organizations
  
• Establish a dynamic and self-directed learning community of practitioners in order to document and share ideas and practices
  
• Enrich the vocabulary, concepts, and strategies for addressing arts and culture in a changing America
  

Artography is not currently accepting new applications.
