Institutionele geschiedenis
The CINTAS Foundation was established in 1957 with funds from the estate of Ambassador Oscar B. Cintas. The Foundation continues to provide fellowships in architecture & design; literature; music composition; and visual arts.
Their mission supports the development and expression in the arts by offering grants to visual artists, architects, composers, and creative writers of Cuban descent, making their art available to the public. In 2023, the Foundation inaugurated the Sondra Gilman González-Falla Fellowship in Photography.
