Each year, CIFO’S HONORARY ADVISORY COMMITTEE - comprised of leading art professionals, curators and artists from Latin America, the United States, and Europe - offers an extensive list of nominees to be considered for the awards. The committee helps identify visual artists from Latin America who are creating some of the most challenging and innovative work today. Once nominations are in, CIFO appoints a Selection Committee composed of Advisory Committee members who recommend finalists for the program. The Selection Committee, while closely reviewing all nominated artists, will consider the existence of a coherent discourse, engaging concepts, and formal resolutions, how each of these elements is expressed in the work, and how they relate within the context of the artist’s chosen discipline. In order to ensure a fair and impartial process, Selection Committee members cannot vote for their nominees. And, after a rigorous review process by the committee, the finalists are presented to the foundation's Board of Directors, at which time the annual recipients of CIFO's Grants & Commissions are selected and ratified.
