What We Do

Grants

An installation photo of an artwork where a white wall is the support for a piece of taught fabric that is secured to the floor several feel away, making a tent-like shape. A skyscraper-like shape in black pierces the fabric through a hole. There is some hand written black text on the white tarp as well.

Peggy Diggs, Oh No, installation view, October 20, 1982.

Since 1976, Franklin Furnace has awarded grants to early career artists.

In 1993, the Franklin Furnace Artists’ Books Collection was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, forming the Museum of Modern Art/Franklin Furnace/Artist Book Collection. Franklin Furnace maintains the third copy and continues to work with MOMA and grow our own collection.
