About the CINTAS Fellowship Program
The CINTAS Fellowship Program encourages creative development in architecture & design, creative writing, music composition and the visual arts. The CINTAS Foundation was established with funds from the estate of Oscar B. Cintas (1887-1957), former Cuban ambassador to the United States, prominent industrialist, and patron of the arts.
The Fellowship, marking its 56th year, includes a $20,000 award to carry out the fellows’ projects as submitted. The blue-ribbon juries are comprised of jurors of national and international standing.
The prestigious competition has recognized creative accomplishments by Cuban artists in the various artistic movements over the last five decades. It is unique in its depth and breadth due to the artistic significance of a prolific and relevant historic period in the Cuban arts. Winners are invited to become part of the CINTAS Fellows Collection through their artistic donations to the one-of-a-kind ensemble of Cuban art. The CINTAS Fellows Collection is a unique representation of the increasingly important works of its artists and creative movements since 1963. It is also one of the largest bodies of Cuban art outside of Cuba.
About the CINTAS Fellowship Collection
The CINTAS Fellowship Collection is comprised of nearly 350 pieces by artists of Cuban descent who have received prestigious CINTAS Fellowships awarded since 1963. The Fellows range from Carmen Herrera to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Maria Martinez-Cañas, Teresita Fernandez, Pulitzer Prize winner Oscar Hijuelos, multiple-Obie winner Maria Elena Fornes, architect Andres Duany, Latin Grammy finalist composer Tania Leon, and many others.

This year CINTAS will honor Juan A. MartÃnez, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus in the Department of Art and Art History at Florida International University, with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Professor MartÃnez is an art historian specializing in European and Cuban Modern Art. He received his Ph.D. as well as his M.A. in Art History from Florida State University and his B.A. in Art History from the University of Florida. He is the author of Cuban Art & National Identity: The Vanguardia Painters, 1927–1950 (Florida, 1994), MarÃa Brito (UCLA, 2009), and Carlos EnrÃquez: The Painter of Cuban Ballads (Cernuda Arte, 2010). Dr. MartÃnez has also published numerous book chapters and essays in exhibition catalogues. He recently curated the exhibit, Cuban Art & Identity: 1900–1950 at the Vero Beach Museum of Art. He is currently working on a monograph on one of the pioneers of Cuban modern painting, Fidelio Ponce de León (1895–1949).
While the CINTAS Foundation has never given a Lifetime Achievement Award or Fellowship to someone whose career was spent in academic scholarship, Professor MartÃnez’ contribution to Cuban culture and the visual arts is exceptional and worthy of the highest honor. Therefore, CINTAS Foundation is delighted to extend this award to him.
