The Movimiento De Arte Y Cultura Latino Americana De San Jose, Incorporated (Movimiento) will develop visual arts exhibitions and related public programs under a $523,940 project grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums for America program. Over the three year award period ending August 2024, Movimiento will produce twelve major visual art exhibitions providing honoraria for up to 250 exhibiting artists. The organization will also expand public programs and build a curatorial internship program for students of color to further cement its role as a community anchor grounded in the Chicano/Latino experience in the San Jose/Silicon Valley region. Exhibitions are expected to attract up to 21,000 annual visitors and reach approximately 30,000 community members through fifty programming events. The IMLS Museums for America program aims to strengthen the ability of individual museums to better serve the public by supporting activities advancing their missions and strategic goals.
