Description
The Terra Foundation for American Art’s Exhibition Grants program supports organizations globally in planning and implementing temporary loan exhibitions that broaden and challenge understandings of American art, including Indigenous arts of North America. Grants are intended to catalyze new approaches to the field, foster inclusive practices, and encourage expansive, diverse narratives. Funding may be used for research, planning, interpretation, artist fees (excluding commissions), logistics, conservation, programming, marketing, and dissemination of research. The program is highly competitive and prioritizes projects that engage a plurality of perspectives and methods, stimulate intercultural dialogue, and transform how stories of American art are told.
