About the CINTAS Fellowship Program
The CINTAS Fellowship Program supports artists of Cuban descent in architecture & design, creative writing, music composition and the visual arts. The CINTAS Foundation was established with funds from the estate of Oscar B. Cintas (1887-1957), former Cuban ambassador to the United States, prominent industrialist, and patron of the arts.
The Fellowship, marking its 57th year, includes a $20,000 grant. Finalists are selected by blue-ribbon juries, comprised of jurors of national and international standing.
The prestigious competition has recognized creative accomplishments by Cuban artists in the various artistic categories over the last five decades. The Fellows range from Carmen Herrera to Félix González-Torres, María Martínez-Cañas, Teresita Fernández, Pulitzer Prize winner Oscar Hijuelos, multiple-Obie winner María Elena Fornes, architect Andrés Duany, Latin Grammy finalist composer Tania León, and many others.
About the CINTAS Fellows Collection
Visual Arts Fellows are invited to become part of the CINTAS Fellows Collection through their artistic donations to the one-of-a-kind ensemble of Cuban art. The CINTAS Fellows Collection is a unique representation of the increasingly important works of its artists and creative movements since 1963. It is extraordinary in its depth and breadth due to the artistic significance of a prolific and relevant historic period in the Cuban arts. It is comprised of nearly 350 pieces by artists of Cuban descent who have received prestigious CINTAS Fellowships. The CINTAS Fellows Collection is considered one of the largest bodies of Cuban art outside of Cuba.
