Established in 2002, Project X Foundation for Art and Criticism promotes intelligent critical dialogue about contemporary art in Los Angeles and beyond though its quarterly 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 artists in Los Angeles as well as the growing impact of Los Angeles as an international center of contemporary art.

This grant will support the Artist’s Projects and Commentaries in X-TRA, and related public programming. Each quarterly issue of X-TRA will feature an Artist’s Project commissioned specifically for publication. Four artists will present new, unique projects specifically designed for the pages of X-TRA. This project will take place from March 2020 to March 2021.
