The funder's mission is to address historical and current inequities in American art history presentations and understandings. They aim to support projects that promote inclusive and equitable research, generate new scholarship, employ innovative methodologies, and engage diverse audiences. They support visual arts projects that broaden understandings of American art and transform stories told about it, focusing on inclusive practices and structural change.
The Terra Foundation Exhibition Grants program supports temporary loan exhibitions that strive to correct historical inequities in the presentation and understanding of American art history at institutions around the globe. These exhibitions, which are designed to showcase works primarily from outside permanent collections, should focus on American art, including both historical and contemporary pieces, and Native American arts. Special emphasis is given to visual art projects that question and expand the narrative of American art, particularly those that include diverse artists, voices, and stories. Priorities include engaging narratives excluded from American art history, centering communities and individuals of color in project development, and committing to inclusive practices for structural change. The foundation encourages projects that can generate new knowledge and offer critical engagement with American contexts. Multilingual written materials are also encouraged to broaden audience engagement.
