Grant Program
The Terra Foundation for American Art supports an enriched and enriching worldwide dialogue on American art via its grant program. The foundation aims to foster innovative projects that are transformative in scope, outreach, and impact, with audiences abroad and in Chicago. We seek to create a broad dialogue on American art across geographic borders, and welcome proposals for projects that share this goal. We are also dedicated to supporting our hometown of Chicago as a lively center for the presentation and study of American art.

Chicago K-12 Education Program
