About Artis Contemporary Israeli Art Fundinc
Artis Contemporary Israeli Art Fundinc centers contemporary artists from Israel, with grants directed to exhibitions, residencies, research, and related curatorial work. The funder’s recent activity shows a clear preference for institutions that can place these artists in public-facing and professional settings, from museum exhibitions to residency partnerships. In 2025, it awarded $40,533 to the Jewish Museum New York for contemporary art and $40,000 to The Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center Inc for contemporary art, two of the largest recent grants on file. It also supported the International Studio and Curatorial Program with awards in both 2023 and 2025, alongside grants to residency and exhibition organizations in New York, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and beyond. The foundation’s own description emphasizes artists from Israel whose work engages aesthetic, social, and political questions, which matches the mix of exhibition support and residency placement in the grant record. Its public charity structure and regional giving footprint sit behind a grantmaking approach that is project-based and institution-facing rather than individual support.
What Artis Contemporary Israeli Art Fundinc Funds
Exhibition support is one of the clearest themes in the record. Artis Contemporary Israeli Art Fundinc gave $43,600 to Philadelphia Museum of Art for contemporary art and $40,000 to The Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center Inc for contemporary art, both tied to exhibition settings. Residencies are another major channel: the foundation awarded $20,118 to International Studio and Curatorial Program (iscp) and $7,200 to Residency Unlimited (ru), both in Brooklyn, for contemporary art-related support. The grant programs also point to research and professional development for artists from Israel through residency partnerships around the world. A third area is institutional and curatorial support, reflected in a $7,750 grant to 18th Street Arts Center and a $6,000 grant to City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, each framed around contemporary art programming.
How Artis Contemporary Israeli Art Fundinc Gives

The record includes repeat support for the International Studio and Curatorial Program, which received grants in both 2023 and 2025, suggesting ongoing relationships with selected institutions.
