Introducing GIA’s New Look

Grantmakers in the Arts is pleased to announce a new and improved website! The new website features a creative new look, improved navigation, and a robust search engine to help members explore the research, articles, and media in GIA’s arts philanthropy resource library. The new look also includes a new logo that captures the creative spirit of GIA. Coming up in the new year, we’ll also launch an enhanced, searchable member database to gather more data about the arts funding landscape and help members better connect to each other. The redesign process has been a large and exciting endeavor for GIA, and we’ll continue to fine tune over the next several weeks and months.
