Cintas: Cintas Foundation
built 240 days ago
The Cintas Foundation grants a fellowship in the visual arts and, beginning in 2007, in music composition every year. It grants fellowships in architecture and creative writing on alternate years. There are many worthy Cuban artists who deserve recognition and support, and therefore the foundation wishes to increase the frequency of all the fellowships to annual grants. To help further this goal, the foundation is seeking to enlarge its endowment, and has received two important contributions in the past year.
