Giverny

Giverny Convenings provide time and space for participants to engage deeply with diverse cultural perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches, while building connections and broadening understandings of American art and its histories in a global context.

These gatherings are intentionally conceived and organized to welcome a plurality of voices and ideas across cultural and disciplinary boundaries, where participants engage outside of their usual contexts and are welcomed into a new, collaborative space. Guest curators, artists, and scholars share their unique insights and experiences, helping to disseminate new knowledge and innovative practices, opening new avenues of understanding and creativity. Giverny is intended to be a space for imagination, inspiration, and invention.

We seek partners who work to broaden perspectives and address critical questions in the field and practice of American art. Giverny is a space to address challenges and opportunities collectively, and these collaborations have the potential to activate intercultural and interdisciplinary projects that have tangible impact.

Hosting Giverny Convenings is currently by invitation only. If you are interested in learning more, please email Lucy Pike, Program Associate, Convening Grants and Initiatives, at [email protected].

The foundation’s presence in Giverny stems from the vision and collection of its founder, Daniel J. Terra. Inspired by the American Impressionist artists whose works he collected, Daniel Terra acquired land and properties in Giverny, where he opened a museum and began to create the conditions for future scholarly and artistic residencies, including the Terra Summer Residency (2001–2020), as well as our current program, Giverny Convenings.
