Henry Luce Foundation Grants $200K for Puerto Rico Art Initiative at New Britain Museum

A grant of $200,000 has been granted to the New Britain Museum of American Art by the Henry Luce Foundation to support its Puerto Rico in Focus initiative. This extensive project delves into the historical and modern connections between Puerto Rican and U.S. art through exhibitions, research, and community involvement. The funding is directed towards Historical Interventions, which aligns historical Puerto Rican art with the museum's collection. Additionally, Contemporary Views will showcase pieces by current Puerto Rican artists. The goal of this initiative is to enhance public awareness of the intricate relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States.
