Deadline: 9-Dec-22
The Terra Foundation is seeking applications for its Convening Grants Program.
Priorities and Goals
-
The foundation supports visual arts projects that question and broaden understandings of American art and transform how stories of American art are told. they encourage projects that:
- Generate knowledge and interpretive frameworks that reflect the range and complexity of American art and its histories through the diversity of artists represented, voices included, and stories told
- Center artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American art
- Commit to inclusive and equitable practices across project development and implementation in order to lead to structural change
Funding Information
- Convening grants are typically between $10,000 and $25,000 unless an award outside this range is warranted by unusual circumstances.
Eligibility Criteria
- The foundation only accepts proposals from institutions with United States 501(c)(3) status or the international equivalent. Convening grants are not made to individuals.
- These programs are intended for scholarly and public audiences. Programs designed primarily for the general public, travel grants, fellowship programs, research databases, and capital expenditures are not eligible for funding through this program.
- Convenings held in person and/or online are eligible for support.
- To be considered, visual art projects should focus on arts of the United States, including Native American arts.
- The projects they support can be focused on historical or contemporary art. Contemporary art projects should offer a reflective and critical engagement with histories, arts, and/or art histories associated with American contexts.
- Projects with a primary goal of influencing practice change should also demonstrate an engagement with the field of American art.
- Convening grants are typically between $10,000 and $25,000 unless an award outside this range is warranted by unusual circumstances.
- Up to 20% of a Terra Foundation grant may offset direct administration costs; and up to 15% of a grant may be applied to indirect costs.
- The Terra Foundation prefers not to be the sole outside contributor to an event.
