“NALAC’s support of Latino artists and organizations ensures that the nation’s cultural life is enriched and made vital through the diverse artistic and cultural expressions of our artists. We are pleased to support the creative process of Latino artists and organizations across the country that are engaging communities, stimulating ideas and local economies, and building audiences for all of the nation’s arts,” said Abel Lopez, chair, NALAC Board.

Two multidisciplinary peer review panels examined eligible applications from among the 202 submissions using established criteria and made recommendations to the NALAC Board of Directors. The selection was made on the basis of artistic merit, funding impact, and capability. “In an effort to preserve the integrity of the peer review process” NALAC declined to identify individual judges and panel members.

According to an organization representative, NALAC is the only national Latino arts service organization in the United States. NALAC headquarters have been in San Antonio, Texas for almost 19 years. The NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA), a grant program to support Latino artists and cultural organizations, is the only national arts fund in the country that provides support specifically for Latino artists and arts organizations working in music, dance, performance art, theatre, visual arts, media and literary arts.

Since its inception in 2005, the Fund has provided 128 grants totaling more than $379,000 to Latino artists, ensembles and small and mid-size Latino arts and culture organizations throughout the U.S. The NALAC Fund for the Arts is made possible with funding from the Ford Foundation, the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Cultural Collaborative, Heineken and Southwest Airlines.
