Frank Juarez, co-founder, of the Randall Frank Contemporary Art Collection was interviewed by Brainard Carey from Praxis Interview Magazine on wybcx Yale Radio regarding the artist grant program. The collection started in 2015 with Randall E. Baren, which supports artists living and working in the East Coast and Midwest. This collection continues to explore ways in which they can support one of our most creative assets – artists. In addition to art acquisitions and sponsorship they have created an artist grant program aimed to support artists financially for residencies, exhibitions, and artist-led lectures.
