The Neubauer Collegium has been selected for the 2024 cycle of a grant-making program organized by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. Financial support from the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative will enable the Neubauer Collegium to improve the energy efficiency of its exhibitions gallery. These improvements will expand the Collegium's curatorial capacity, enhance the quality of its exhibition programming and related public engagement efforts, and open up new possibilities to present fragile materials – including historic objects that require highly stable conditions.

Established by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in collaboration with Environment & Culture Partners (a nonprofit devoted to climate advocacy in the U.S. cultural sector) and RMI (a global expert in clean energy), the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative is the first grant-making program of its kind that catalyzes climate action at visual arts organizations.

"We are excited to embark on this partnership with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation," said Neubauer Collegium Executive Director Elspeth Carruthers. "It is pivotal for our mission to incorporate the visual arts into broader research inquiry. We are grateful to the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation for its leadership in helping arts and arts research organizations reduce their carbon footprint."
