Description
The Terra Foundation for American Art supports conversations, symposia, and workshops that expand knowledge, nurture relationships, and inspire changes in perspectives and practices across local and global networks. Convenings may share research and professional practice, examine historical or contemporary art, or address institutional change. Projects should deepen, counter, or expand the stories and voices represented in American art.
The foundation prioritizes work that reflects the breadth and complexity of American art, brings artists, scholars, and communities with varied perspectives into dialogue, and catalyzes inclusive practices and expansive histories. Support is available for early planning and more developed projects, including in-person, virtual, and hybrid gatherings for scholarly, professional, and other targeted audiences.
