2024 immigrant artist mentoring program

Are you an immigrant artist living and/or working in the San Antonio area? Are you looking to build a community and learn tools that will advance your arts career? If yes, consider joining New York Foundation for the Arts’ (NYFA) growing immigrant artist community and apply to be part of the Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program.

With the support of San Antonio Area Foundation, NYFA is honored to return to San Antonio with the Program. The program was previously conducted in 2018 and 2019 in collaboration with San Antonio local partners, with both cohorts exhibiting work at Centro de Artes after their respective programs concluded.

For this year’s program, we are grateful for the support of University of Texas San Antonio’s Russell Hill Rogers Galleries, which will feature visual and performing works by mentors and mentees in a Fall 2025 exhibition.

This competitive program is open to artists from all disciplines (performing, literary, visual, multi-disciplinary, video/film, folk and traditional arts, socially engaged practices, and beyond).
