The new Pocantico Prize will recognize visual artists with $25,000 and a two-month residency at the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) announced today that Joseph Pierson has been elected chair of its Board of Trustees.

The cultural hub at Pocantico, offering performances and exhibits, will open to the public in October 2022.

The RBF has revised the Money in Politics strategy to support innovations in systems and practices to strengthen equality of representation.

Revisions to the Culpeper Arts & Culture program guidelines emphasize community building and social impact, prioritize artist-centered and multidisciplinary work, advance the Fund’s anti-racist and anti-sexist commitments, ensure attention to accessibility, and celebrate innovation and artistic excellence.

Our new program guidelines reflect a region with both serious challenges but also powerful positive forces making brave efforts for democracy, sustainability, and human rights.

We stand in solidarity with our Asian American colleagues, partners, and neighbors in the struggle against racism and misogyny.

McGhee’s book, The Sum of Us, chronicles her journey around the country to explore the social and economic gains that result when people unite across racial divides.

It is our hope that the one-time fellowship—and the academic collaboration it facilitates—will inspire the resumption of government-support for future people-to-people exchanges between the China and the United States.

In a statement, RBF President Stephen Heintz writes, "The violent attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday was distinctly un-American and an affront to our system of democratic government. Politicians who supported or enabled, actively or tacitly, this insurrection must be held to account."
