2025 OPEN CALL: AMA AMOEDO FOUNDATION GRANTS FOR LATIN AMERICAN ART
For the third consecutive year, the Ama Amoedo Foundation launches its grant program, an initiative aimed at providing resources and opportunities to strengthen the art ecosystem and its institutions across Latin America. The open call closes on August 31.
In this new edition, 10 grants of US$10,000 each will be awarded, distributed across four categories: Artists (four grants), Art and Social Engagement (two grants), Organizations (two grants), and Publications (two grants).
Applications may be submitted in Spanish, Portuguese, or English via the Foundation’s online platform. Eligible applicants include artists, artist collectives, art professionals, non-profit organizations, associations, institutions, and foundations with a significant connection to Latin America—whether through nationality, cultural heritage, or the location where the proposed project will take place.

The Artist Grants are intended for individual artists or collectives working in the field of visual arts. Proposals may include research or artistic creation such as producing work for non-commercial exhibitions, project development, or archiving and preservation initiatives. The Art and Social Engagement Grants aim to support proposals that foster inclusion, education, and community-building through collaborative artistic practices. Artists, organizations, and foundations are eligible to apply.
The Organization Grants are aimed at non-profit institutions committed to promoting, preserving, or disseminating the work of Latin American artists through specific projects with clearly defined goals that contribute directly to the art ecosystem. Lastly, the Publication Grants will support editorial projects—either in print or digital formats—focused on Latin American art or artists, with the goal of contributing to their professional development and visibility.
Selected projects will be announced in November 2025, with implementation beginning in January 2026. Each applicant may only apply to one category and must be over 18 years old.
Deadline: Sunday, August 31, 2025.
