Knight Foundation donations made to The Village of Art and Humanities

This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

150,000.001--Artshttps://knightfoundation.org/grants/5740-- Grant period: 04/01/2013 - 03/31/2015; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To offer a home to emerging and mid-career artists seeking an urban environment by creating a year-long artist residency program To support emerging and mid-career artists, the Village Artist-in-Residence program will award yearlong residencies to exceptional artists seeking community based social practice for the investigation and execution of their work. In exchange for a commitment to create an original project that responds to, engages and/or reflects on the North Philadelphia community, the residents receive housing, a $10,000 stipend, access to extensive art-making facilities, a solo exhibition and a critical catalogue. The Village will partner with universities and museums to share resources and provide additional career-making opportunities such as lectures and workshops. For many artists, the program will be the first time they are able to fully devote themselves to their artistic practice. The Village of Arts and Humanities supports the community’s voices and aspirations by providing opportunities for self-expression rooted in art and culture. The Village inspires people to be agents of positive change through programs that spark creativity, engage youth, revitalize community, preserve heritage and respect the environment.

Through the scavenger hunts, students will be challenged to create impromptu art across various neighborhoods, hunt for treasure in artists’ studios, design and build temporary installations with found objects and more. Participants will record their expeditions with homemade pinhole cameras and through online and homemade journals. The action-packed, adventure-based program will introduce hundreds of Philadelphia teens to local artists, writers, performers and cultural destinations.
