Founded in Eagle Rock by a group of Los Angeles artists, X-TRA has been produced quarterly since 1997 by the Project X Foundation for Art and Criticism. Now found on newsstands and bookstores around the country, in addition to its online presence, X-TRA is a contemporary art journal that presents expansive features, historical essays, interviews, substantive reviews and more. It is also Los Angeles’s longest running critical art journal.

The grant will support artist projects and commentaries in X-TRA, print and online in 2022/23. Funds will be used for artist fees and production costs. X-TRA online has expanded the journal’s offerings with an emphasis on artist’s writings and conversations, documentation of readings and events, and a podcast, Artists and Rights.
