The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Individual Support program was established in 1976 to encourage and recognize mature painters, sculptors, and printmakers who have dedicated their lives to developing their art regardless of their level of commercial success.  

The Foundation also administers the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant program, which offers assistance to mature visual artists who have suffered a current or recent catastrophic event. More information about the Foundation and its programs can be found here. Links to an application form for each program may likewise be found on the website.
