Latinx artists and
organizations of all disciplines based in the U.S. and Puerto Rico may apply
for $10,000 grant awards.The
NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA) includes the NFA Adán Medrano Legacy Award in
Film, a $10,000 award for one emerging Latinx filmmaker.
For over 15 years the NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA) has been the
only national grant program of its kind, exclusively providing grants to Latinx
artists and arts organizations. In 2020 and 2021 NALAC’s grantmaking focus
shifted to create Actos de Confianza, a
COVID-19 relief effort which provided over a million dollars in need-based
funding to impacted artists and organizations.
This year marks the
return of the NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA), with a renewed focus on supporting
Latinx artists and organizations through project-based grant
awards.
“Through our Actos de Confianza relief program, which we ran in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, we aligned our support with
the resilience of our field, providing hundreds of artists with emergency
relief grants. Throughout the pandemic, we all experienced loss, challenge, and
uncertainty around the future of the arts. During this time, we persevered and
created, and the art created by our field has inspired the world and supported
collective healing in countless ways,” said Jackelin Treviño, NALAC Grants
Manager. “As we relaunch the NALAC Fund for the Arts, providing more funding to
the field than ever before, we are honored to support Latinx creators as they
get back to doing what they do best- making art and building community.”
T
he Flamboyan Artist Fellowship, in
partnership with NALAC, will provide grants in support of Puerto-Rican artists,
recognizing excellence in individual artists’ body of work and nurturing
creative and professional development. All applicants that live or
work in Puerto Rico will be eligible for the Flamboyan Artist Fellowship award.
To date the three-year partnership with the Flamboyan Foundation has
awarded $200,000 to 45 artists living and residing in Puerto Rico that are
creating new cultural and creative works on the island.
Interested applicants are encouraged to register for a NALAC
Fund for the Arts (NFA) support webinar. Support webinars will be held for both
individual artists and organizations. Additional support opportunities are
available on theNALAC website.
