Located in Green River, Utah, Epicenter provides the opportunity to study and make work about the land, its history, and its inhabitants. Since its founding in 2009, Epicenter has brought hundreds of artists, designers, architects, and creative thinkers to the town of Green River for residencies and curated gatherings that seed new projects in and about its rural context. In doing so, the organization hopes to upend stereotypes about small towns and offer new perspectives on instigating change in the Mountain West.

“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
