The UCLA Department of Art’s Fundación AMA Visiting Artist program brings two Chilean artists to UCLA each year. Fundación AMA has previously collaborated with the UCLA Department of Art History to support graduate student travel to Chile. In addition to working closely with faculty and both graduate and undergraduate students, visiting artists will engage the broader community with a public lecture.
