Printed Matter is the world’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination, understanding and appreciation of artists’ books and related publications. Founded in 1976, Printed Matter was developed in response to the growing interest in publications made by artists. Through its storefronts, online catalog, and fairs, Printed Matter now circulates an astonishing 40,000 publications annually, providing a platform for artists and independent publishers to connect with new audiences.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
