Artis, the New York nonprofit organization that supports artists from Israel, has announced a new round of grants for exhibitions, artists, and researchers totaling more than $200,000. artnet News got an exclusive look at the list of recipients this year.

The dozen shows getting Artis’s support take place at venues ranging from the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit to the Museo de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia, and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Australia.
