The Terra Foundation supports visual arts projects with a focus on art of the United States and Indigenous art of North America that question and broaden understandings of American art and transform how its stories are told. We encourage projects that:

• generate knowledge and interpretive frameworks that reflect the range and complexity of American art and its histories through the diversity of artists represented, voices included, and stories told
• center artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American art
• commit to inclusive and equitable practices across project development and implementation in order to lead to structural change
