The Printed Matter Publisher Work Grant is an annual unrestricted grant for artists’ book publishers. The grant, supported by the Wagner Foundation, acknowledges the accomplishments of independent presses with a history of artists’ book publishing and provides funds for future projects and sustainability. In 2025, three grants of $10,000 USD each will be awarded. Selected presses will also be featured at a forthcoming Printed Matter NY or LA Art Book Fair.

Two visual artists will receive $20,000 each, professional development consultations, and close mentorship from QM staff members working toward an artist’s project. The fellowships will culminate in solo project exhibitions at the Queens Museum in 2027.

The Artist-in-Residence program offers the opportunity for emerging and established artists to foster creativity and community engagement while developing both new works and works-in-progress. CAE welcomes artists working across disciplines and media, including visual artists, sculptors, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and more.
