About this opportunity

Fundación Ama Amoedo is an Argentine foundation working across the Latin American visual arts, and this is the fourth year it has run its open grants call. Ten grants of US$10,000 each go to artists, collectives, art professionals, non-profit organisations and small publishers whose work has a real connection to Latin America. Applying is free, and the money arrives as a single bank transfer to spend on the project you proposed.

What you get:

US$10,000, a flat award rather than a ceiling, paid as one undivided bank transfer to an account in the grant holder's own name
One of ten grants across four categories: four for Artists, two for Art and Social Engagement, two for Organizations and two for Publications
One year from the award to carry out the project, or two years for Publications grants
Freedom to combine the grant with other funding, provided those funders' interests do not conflict with the Foundation's
Assessment by a jury of three external curators plus one Foundation representative, with no application fee at any stage

What you'll do:

Propose one specific project: research or artistic creation, a community arts initiative, an institutional project, or a publication
Submit a project description with objectives, an implementation plan and your reasons for applying
Attach an itemised budget in Excel or PDF explaining exactly how the funds would be used
Attach a CV, plus an artistic portfolio for the Artists category or up to 20 captioned images of past work for the others
Sign an agreement with the Foundation before payment, then send reports specifying how the grant was spent

Key dates:

Applications opened Monday July 7, 2026
Applications close Wednesday September 9, 2026 at 23:59 Uruguay time, the same clock as Buenos Aires
Winners announced publicly on November 20, 2026

Worth checking yourself

!It closes tomorrow, 9 September, at 23:59 Uruguay time. The application needs a project description, an itemised budget, a CV and a portfolio, so this is not realistically a same-day application.
!The Organizations category is for institutions only. Individuals can enter the other three.
!There is no upper age limit and past recipients have been established mid-career artists, so you are competing against professionals.
!You sign an agreement before the money is paid, and you commit to reporting how you spent it. The Foundation can ask for progress updates for a year afterwards, or two years for Publications.
