Are you an immigrant artist living and/or working in the San Antonio area? Are you looking to build a community and learn tools that will advance your arts career? If yes, consider joining New York Foundation for the Arts’ (NYFA) growing immigrant artist community and apply to be part of the Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program.
With the support of San Antonio Area Foundation, NYFA is honored to return to San Antonio with the Program. The program was previously conducted in 2018 and 2019 in collaboration with San Antonio local partners, with both cohorts exhibiting work at Centro de Artes after their respective programs concluded.
This competitive program is open to artists from all disciplines (performing, literary, visual, multi-disciplinary, video/film, folk and traditional arts, socially engaged practices, and beyond). Accepted participants will receive a modest stipend and have the opportunity to participate in the aforementioned exhibition in Fall 2025. The program will run from September 2024 to January 2025, and the application deadline is Monday, August 12, 2024, 11:59 PM CT.
Requirements
- Artists working in all disciplines who live within the San Antonio area (within commuting distance of San Antonio). Priority will be given to artists living and working in San Antonio; however, the program is open to artists in Texas within commuting distance of San Antonio.
- Able to attend mandatory in-person meetings in the San Antonio area.
- Artists born outside of the U.S. or in the U.S. territories (Puerto Rico or Guam, The U.S. Virgin Islands), or artists whose parents/caregivers were born outside of the U.S./U.S. territories (1st generation immigrants) may apply.
- Have been pursuing a career as an artist within the range of 1-10 years in the United States.
Are NOT currently enrolled in an arts graduate or undergraduate degree program. Students who will graduate before the program starts are welcome to apply.
If you have a unique immigrant experience that doesn’t meet the stated eligibility and feel you would benefit from this program, please reach out to i.outreach@nyfa.org with some information on your immigrant story. Refugees/asylum seekers are welcomed to apply.
