The Terra Foundation actively supports convenings worldwide that question and broaden definitions of American art. Grant funding is available for programs that foster exchange and collaboration, such as workshops, symposia, and colloquia. Programs should advance innovative and experimental research and professional practice in American art and address critical issues facing the field.
This program is open to organizations within and outside of the United States. Convenings held in person and/or online are eligible for support.
For Terra Foundation consideration, convenings should engage with American and/or Native American arts, including historical and/or or contemporary art. Convenings centered on contemporary art should manifest a critical and reflective engagement with American or Native American histories, arts, and art histories.
