The Mica Foundation concentrates its modest giving on direct support for individual contemporary artists, funding production and project expenses rather than institutions or broad programs. Grants are small and targeted, suggesting a patron-style approach to enabling specific artworks or artist projects, likely within the visual/conceptual art sphere and centered in New York.
Very limited, small-dollar giving concentrated in a few one-off grants to individual artists rather than broad or recurring institutional grants; no evidence of multi-year commitments or a large portfolio.
