Call for Nominations for the 2027 ALAA Article Award

Deadline: August 1, 2026

The Association for Latin American Art is pleased to sponsor the ALAA Article Award. Essays may cover any aspect of Latin American/Latinx art, architecture, or visual culture, of any period from antiquity to the present, and may be written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Submissions must have been published between August 1, 2025 and July 31, 2026 in a peer-reviewed journal, edited volume, or exhibition catalogue. 

Submissions should be sent as a pdf of the article, with the publication date clearly indicated, to the committee chair, Danielle Stewart, danielle.stewart@usu.edu, by the August 1 deadline.

The award consists a $500 honorarium and will be presented at the ALAA business meeting at the annual meeting of the College Art Association in New York, February 3-6, 2027. The name of the recipient will appear in the newsletters of both ALAA and CAA. This award is generously funded by Edward J. Sullivan, Helen Gould Sheppard Professor of the History of Art at New York University.

Please note that, per the ALAA Awards Guidelines, articles may not be considered for more than one award category (e.g., the ALAA Article Award or the ALAA/LASA-VCS Afro Latin American/Afro-Latinx Scholarship Prize). It will be the responsibility of the author to determine which category best fits the submission.
