Established in 2002, Project X Foundation for Art and Criticism promotes intelligent critical dialogue about contemporary art in Los Angeles and beyond through its biannual print and online art journal, X-TRA, year-round public events, and digital programming, all of which address the political, social and formal concerns of contemporary art. X-TRA is the longest-running critical art journal in Los Angeles, giving voice since 1997 to the impact and vision of Angeleno artists, as well as the growing impact of Los Angeles as a global center of contemporary art.

This grant will support the Artist’s Projects and Commentaries in X-TRA and related public programming. Each biannual issue of X-TRA will feature an Artist’s Project commissioned specifically for that publication. Four artists will present new, unique projects specifically designed for X-TRA.
