Walid Raad Receives Trellis Foundation 2025 Milestone Grant

Walid Raad, professor of photography at Bard College, has been announced as a recipient of a 2025 Trellis Foundation Milestone Grant. As one of 12 recipients named by the Trellis Art Fund, Raad will receive an unrestricted grant in the amount of $100,000, which will be disbursed in two installments over a two-year period. The award aims to provide support to artists who reflect a consistent, engaged practice and who have demonstrated a trajectory of creative excellence over the course of their career. Grantees will also be supported with career-development assistance, including workshops, and in November Trellis will host a retreat in upstate New York for 2024 and 2025 Milestone grantees to foster community-building. The winners, chosen by an anonymous five-person panel, range in age from 38 to 82 and were selected based on their demonstrated commitment to their respective practices, their unique contributions to their fields, and the consistently high quality of their work.
