Description
This grant program from the Terra Foundation for American Art funds convenings—such as symposia, workshops, and scholarly conversations—that deepen interdisciplinary and intercultural exchange related to the visual arts of the United States and Indigenous North America. The foundation seeks to support gatherings that foster new knowledge, nurture collaborative relationships, and inspire shifts in perspectives and practices within both local and global networks. Projects should explore inclusive histories, diverse narratives, and evolving practices in American art, providing a platform for artists, scholars, and cultural organizations to share research, address critical issues, and expand the field’s understanding through dialogue. Both early-stage planning and more developed convenings are eligible, and formats may be in-person, virtual, or hybrid.
