Today, the Center for Italian Modern Art announces that it is the recipient of a $60,000 grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The Spring 2023 grant program recognizes arts organizations and museums for their visual arts programming, exhibitions, and research initiatives that provide critical support to artists. CIMA joins a rich roster of 49 distinguished organizations and museums to receive the funding from the Spring 2023 grant, which totals $4 million.

CIMA will use the funds to host a series of public events that will feature discussions between contemporary artists, curators, critics, and scholars to illuminate the current day resonance of its upcoming exhibition, Transatlantic Bridges: Corrado Cagli, 1938-1948(October 12, 2023 – January 27, 2024), showcasing works by Italian artist Corrado Cagli (1910-1076). As a Jewish and openly gay artist, Cagli addressed issues such as exile and diaspora, political and gender oppression, and racism.
