The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation has launched a grant program to help artists and other creative professionals tackle pressing international and social issues. The Artist as Activist program offers artists, designers and other creative thinkers the opportunity for a two-year fellowship as well as smaller, ongoing travel and research grants. The foundation is now accepting proposals via an open call on its website.

The Rauschenberg Foundation suffered a blow in court last month when a Florida judge awarded $24.6m to three of its trustees following a long-running legal dispute.

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe is developing a new fellowship for museum professionals that it hopes will grow into a larger think tank program in the future.

The museum said the fellowship is the first of its kind and will provide opportunities for those who work in museums time to do independent research as well as collaborate with others.

Douglas Worts has been appointed the 2014 fellow.
