The estate of Abstract Expressionist Robert Motherwell and photographer Renate Ponsold Motherwell, who died in 2023, will give $200,000 to Fine Arts Work Center, a residency program and arts education center in Provincetown, Massachusetts that Motherwell cofounded more than 50 years ago.

The gift will go to support FAWC’s two main programs: its fellowship, where a cohort of 10 visual artists and 10 writers stay at the organization’s campus for seven months during the off season, and its Summer Workshops, weeklong programs in focused disciplines of art and writing.
