Short Description
For the third consecutive year, Fundación Ama Amoedo will award 10 grants to support the Latin American artistic field. The grants aim to provide resources and opportunities to strengthen the art ecosystem and its institutions. They are offered in four categories: Artists, Art and Social Engagement, Organizations and Publications. The announcement will be made in November, and the timeline for implementing and carrying out the project will begin in January 2026.
Artists
Fundación Ama Amoedo Artist Grants are intended for artists and/or artistic 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 that are not associated with commercial spaces, project development, or the archive or preservation of their own practice among others. A total of 4 grants of US$10,000 will be awarded with the objective of supporting artists at a key moment in their career.
Art and Social Engagement
Fundación Ama Amoedo Art and Social Engagement Grants are intended to support specific
initiatives that use visual arts to create a positive social impact on society. This category is open to artists, collectives, individuals, foundations, and non-profits whose projects foster education, social inclusion, and community building through artistic practices and collaborative approaches. Two grants of US$10,000 will be awarded to support social and collaborative practices.
Organizations
Fundación Ama Amoedo 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. Initiatives will be accepted in a wide variety of formats that, through precise goals, contribute directly to the art ecosystem. Two grants of US$10,000 will be awarded to support related institutions in their respective missions.
Publications
Fundación Ama Amoedo Publications Grants are intended to contribute to art publications and/or publications by Latin American artists in physical or online format. Its objective is to promote artistic professionalization by supporting publications of significant relevance. Two grants of US$10,000 will be awarded to specific publishing projects, with a maximum completion period of two years from the date of receipt of the grant.
