Creative Time'S Justine Ludwig Interview on the Art Non-Profit Turning 50 in 2024
Foundation: MacArthur Foundation
"We are thinking about the whole arc of what it means to support an artist," says Creative Time CEO Jill Magid, "not just the final product, but those moments of community building, those moments of resourcing them and connecting them with experts in diverse fields and really rooting the institution."
That institution is New York City's Creative Time HQ, which Magid says is "one of the most, if not the most, socio-political arts organizations and it is incredibly rare to see institutions like this thrive for as long as it has."
That's why the 54-year-old is among this year's recipients of the MacArthur Foundation's "genius grants," the New York Times reports.
Magid, who says she's "thrilled" by the honor, has worked for Creative Time since it was founded in the 1980s and has since expanded to include a programming space for artists and a fellowship program for those in the midst of "deep research and development."
She tells the Times that thegenius grants are a way for the foundation to "really rooting the institution," which she says is "one of the most important cultural institutions in New York City."
