Based in New York City, the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) expands scholarship and public engagement with Latin American art through its program of exhibitions, publishing, research, and partnerships. The pursuit of this goal has led to ISLAA’s involvement in more than 470 lectures and conferences, 30 books, and 20 large-scale exhibitions.
ISLAA provides a platform for original perspectives on a variety of figures, topics, and periods of Latin American art through its in-house exhibitions. It supports a range of academic texts, monographs, and catalogues, and produces original publications such as the journal Vistas.
Research initiatives are central to ISLAA’s mission. ISLAA offers funding and support to emerging and established scholars, extending access to physical and digitized materials from its Library and Archives. Its in-house research programs include the Scholar in Residence and Writer in Residence programs and the ISLAA Research Grant. ISLAA also works with educational and art institutions to foster scholarship and intellectual exchange, providing resources and programs oriented toward scholars, arts professionals, and broad audiences.
