We are proud to announce our fourth call for artists in partnership with Nogales, Sonora’s culture and arts center, Imfoculta Cecun.

The Fronteridades Binational Arts Grants program aims to support emerging artists interested in creating public art that reflects the experiences of border communities. For this year’s theme, Art, Border, and Resilience, art proposals should invite dialogue and allow reflection on the challenges and life experiences border town residents face.
"It is important to highlight the signs of resilience on the border, especially given the post pandemic world,” said Dr. Javier Duran, Confluencenter director.
“We envision this program as an opportunity for new and young artists in Mexico to share their perspectives on human resilience and the nuances of border life at this moment in time.”
Since 2019, Confluencenter has granted over $40,000 to 27 Mexican artists by partnering with Imfoculta Cecun. This year the program has expanded to include Sonora, Mexico artists from Agua Prieta, Naco, Cananea, and Nogales.
The program is made possible through the support of the Fronteridades program by the Mellon Foundation. Awarded artwork can be found all over Nogales, Sonora’s landscape, and online on the Confluencenter website.
