Artists
The Venezuela Chapter works with up to 16 Venezuelan artists in diaspora — selected through a rigorous two-layer process combining curatorial evaluation and formal VAEA Board approval. Artist profiles, documented artworks and critical analyses will be published here as Phase One progresses.
Curatorial rigor. Fiduciary transparency.
Eligibility criteria
- Venezuelan nationality or birth, documented
- Minimum two cumulative years of residence outside Venezuela at the time of proposal
- Active, documented artistic practice in the preceding three years — exhibitions, publications, commissions, residencies or equivalent
- A proposed contribution coherent with the program's curatorial framework
Two-layer selection
The Curatorial Director leads the evaluation process and issues the final curatorial recommendation. VAEA then formally approves each artist's participation, confirming alignment with VAEA's charitable mission and the absence of conflicts of interest.
Artist compensation
The program provides direct professional compensation through participation honoraria and, where applicable, commissions for new work funded with program resources. All compensation documented, contracted and Board-approved.
Phase One cohort — in development.
The Phase One shortlist will be reviewed through a structured curatorial process, with editorial assessment, eligibility criteria, professional documentation and institutional approval by VAEA. Artist profiles will be published progressively as documentation is completed.
