OPEN CALL FOR THE FUNDACIÓN AMA AMOEDO GRANTS 2026

The Fundación Ama Amoedo has opened applications for the fourth edition of its annual grants, aimed at strengthening the visual arts ecosystem and its institutions. Applications are accepted until September 9, 2026.

The program awards ten grants of $10,000 USD across four categories. The Artists category assigns four grants to research or creation projects in the visual arts that represent a significant contribution to the trajectory of individual artists or collectives. The Art and Social Engagement category awards two grants to initiatives by groups, individuals, or non-profit organizations that use artistic practice to promote education, social inclusion, and community development. The Organizations category provides two grants to projects by non-profit institutions or organizations dedicated to promoting, preserving, and disseminating the work of Latin American artists. The Publications category supports two editorial projects focused on art and/or Latin American artists, with a maximum completion period of two years from receipt of the grant.

Applications are open to artists, artist collectives, art professionals, non-profit organizations, institutions, and foundations with a significant connection to Latin America, whether through nationality, cultural heritage, or the location where the project will take place.

The jury for this edition comprises Igor Simões, independent curator; Jovanna Venegas, curator at SculptureCenter (New York); María Wills Londoño, curator and researcher; and Laura Hakel, curator of Collection and Artistic Projects at Fundación Ama Amoedo.
