Artists Grants are aimed at individual artists and/or collectives working in the field of visual arts. Eligible proposals may include research or artistic production, such as the creation of new works for upcoming exhibitions, project development, or the archive or preservation of their own practice, among others.
Art and Social Engagement Grants support initiatives that use visual arts to create a positive social impact. This category is open to artists, collectives, foundations, and non-profits whose projects foster education, social inclusion, and community building through artistic practices and collaborative approaches.
Organizations Grants are intended to support specific projects led by institutions or non-profit organizations that promote, preserve, and disseminate the work of Latin American artists. Eligible initiatives include archives, public programs, cultural exchanges, and other activities that strengthen the art ecosystem.
Publications Grants aim to support art publications and editorial projects by Latin American artists. This category is open to non-profit artistic entities, individuals, and small to mid-sized publishing houses focused on producing and distributing art-related content, either in print or digital formats.
