Cifo | Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Miami, Florida, established in 2002 by Ella Fontanals-Cisneros. It functions as a platform to support Latin American artists across different career stages, offering programs such as grants and commissions, access to a collection, and an art space, with activities that extend to the United States and international contexts. The foundation aims to foster cultural understanding and educational dialogue between Latin American artists and global audiences, contributing to cross-cultural exchange through rotating exhibitions and related cultural projects. While the organization operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, its core work centers on art and cultural programming rather than a traditional museum model. Its efforts are directed at artists and audiences seeking exposure to Latin American contemporary practices, addressing the need for broader visibility and dialogue in the art world. Recent developments include initiatives like SinCrónicas, and its continued work since relocating its Miami presence.
