THE U.S. LATINX ART FORUM (USLAF) AWARDS LATINX ARTIST FELLOWSHIPS
Fifteen artists working across the United States and Puerto Rico have been awarded the 2024 Latinx Artist Fellowships by the U.S. Latinx Forum (USLAF), with $50,0000 in unrestricted funding and a year-long program of professional engagement opportunities.

The U.S. Latinx Art Forum (USLAF), a non-profit organization formed in 2015 to address the underrepresentation and underfunding of Latinx art, awarded the 2024 Latinx Artist Fellowships to fifteen artists living and working across the United States and in Puerto Rico. As part of the year-long Latinx Artist Fellowship program, each artist receives $50,000 in unrestricted funding to support their creative work, as well as opportunities to participate in public programs co-hosted by USLAF.
Recognizing the most compelling Latinx visual artists working in the United States today, the Latinx Artist Fellowship was established in 2021 to address a systemic lack of support, visibility, and patronage of Latinx visual artists—individuals of Latin American or Caribbean descent, born or long-living in the United States. To date, the fellowship program has supported 60 exceptional artists at all career stages, helping to establish essential connections, a lasting legacy, and a vibrant community of Latinx artists.
The 2024 cohort of fellows represent nine cities across the United States and Puerto Rico, and reflects the varied racial, ethnic, and gender identities within the Latinx community; the cohort includes Afro-Latinx, women-identified, queer, and transgender artists. Their artistic practices span painting, installation, ceramics, printmaking, photography, sound art, social practice, and performance, as well as site-responsive interventions.
The 2024 Latinx Artist Fellows are:
Alberto Aguilar, Chicago, IL
Yreina D. Cervántez, Los Angeles, CA
Lizania Cruz, New York, NY
Jenelle Esparza, San Antonio, TX
Fronterizx Collective, (Jenea Sanchez & Gabriela Muñoz), Phoenix, AZ
Joel Gaitan, Miami, FL
Guillermo Gómez-Peña, San Francisco CA
Maria Maea, Los Angeles, CA
Charo Oquet, Miami, FL
Pepón Osorio, Philadelphia, PA
Elle Pérez, Bronx, NY
Gadiel Rivera Herrera, San Juan, PR
Sandy Rodriguez, Los Angeles, CA
John Valadez, Los Angeles, CA
Chris E. Vargas, Los Angeles, CA / Bellingham, WA
The 2024 Latinx Artist Fellows were selected from nearly 200 nominees recommended by invited external nominators with Latinx art expertise, including curators at USLAF partner organizations, fellows from previous Latinx Artist Fellowship cohorts, and other arts practitioners. The jurors who selected the 2024 Latinx Artist Fellows from among the nominees were: Angelica Arbelaez (Rubio Butterfield Family Fellow, Whitney Museum of American Art), Rita Gonzalez (Terri and Michael Smooke Curator and Department Head of Contemporary Art of Los Angeles County Museum of Art), Cesáreo Moreno (Visual Arts Director and Chief Curator, National Museum of Mexican Art), Maria Elena Ortiz (Curator, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth), Felipe Baeza (2023-2024 USLAF Latinx Artist Fellow), Sofía Gallisá Muriente (2023-2024 USLAF Latinx Artist Fellow), and Tina Tavera (2023-2024 USLAF Latinx Artist Fellow).
