A mutual love of the arts drew Richard and Mary Gray together when they met almost 60 years ago and has been a driving passion in their lives ever since.

‘The search for knowledge about and experience with the arts are critical to the development of humanistic values,’ says Richard Gray, a lifelong Chicagoan, internationally distinguished art dealer, noted private collector, and architectural landmark preservationist. The Richard Gray Gallery of Chicago and New York specializes in painting, sculpture, and drawings by 20th-century American and European artists. Mary Gray, AM’78, is a published author who has written two books on Chicago’s public sculpture and murals.

‘No one represents the arts better in this city than Richard and Mary Gray,’ says Larry Norman, Deputy Provost for the Arts.

Mellon Foundation

Sponsors

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation currently makes grants in five core program areas:

Within each of its core programs, the Foundation concentrates most of its grantmaking in a few areas. Institutions and programs receiving support are often leaders in fields of Foundation activity, but they may also be promising newcomers, or in a position to demonstrate new ways of overcoming obstacles to achieve program goals.

Our grantmaking philosophy is to build, strengthen and sustain institutions and their core capacities, rather than be a source for narrowly defined projects. As such, we develop thoughtful, long-term collaborations with grant recipients and invest sufficient funds for an extended period to accomplish the purpose at hand and achieve meaningful results.
