CIMAM is an international forum of professional character for the discussion of theoretical, ethical and practical issues concerning the collection and exhibition of modern and contemporary art.

Around 200 delegates are expected to attend the CIMAM 2013 Annual Conference in Rio de Janeiro, taking part in extended Q&A, workshop sessions and visits to the foremost contemporary art institutions and spaces in the city to reflect upon the issues arising from conference topics.

CIMAM is offering five grants to support the attendance of modern and contemporary art curators and museum or collection directors from Latin America with priority to professionals residing in Central America and the Caribbean to CIMAM’s 2013 Annual Conference, New Dynamics in Museums: Curator, Artwork, Public, Governance, held in Rio de Janeiro, 12–14 August 2013. The conference is hosted at MAM Rio – Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro and organized in collaboration with Suzy Muniz Produçoes.

 Requirements

Grants will exclusively relate to support of the purpose for which the fund was established. The funds will be administrated by CIMAM and set on a case-by-case basis up to a 2,000 euro maximum per grantee. Funds will not be sent to the beneficiary directly and will not cover registration and expenses related with the post-conference tour.

Who can apply

Grants are restricted to modern and contemporary art curators and museum or collection directors from Latin America with priority given to professionals residing in Central America and the Caribbean. While curators of all career levels are encouraged to apply, we are especially interested in receiving applications from junior curators who have less than ten years experience in the field. Applicants having received CIMAM grants from Fundación Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros will not be considered for a new grant before three years.
