The U.S. Latinx Art Forum (USLAF), in collaboration with the New York Foundation for the Arts, has announced the third cohort of the Latinx Artist Fellowship, a multiyear initiative supported by the Mellon and Ford foundations.

Launched in 2021 with a combined commitment of $5 million from the two foundations, the fellowship annually recognizes 15 of the most compelling Latinx visual artists working in the United States with the aim of addressing a systemic lack of support, visibility, and patronage of Latinx visual artists. This year’s cohort includes artists working in locations such as Tempe, Arizona; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Hato Rey, Puerto Rico; and Houston, Texas. Their artistic practices span ceramics, painting, printmaking, photography, installation art, sound art, social practice, and performance, as well as site-responsive architectural interventions.

“As the Latinx Artist Fellowship marks its third year, this cohort of artists speaks to the wide range of aesthetic strategies, conceptual practices, and subject matter that position Latinx artists as vital and significant voices within contemporary art,” said USLAF director of programs Mary Thomas. “USLAF is excited to continue our work to support artists and welcome this new cohort of fellows.”
