The Art Museum of the Americas is the oldest museum of modern and contemporary Latin American and Caribbean art in the United States. It is part of the Organization of American States (OAS), an international public organization whose aim is to promote democracy, peace, justice, and solidarity among its 34 member countries. Since the mid-twentieth century, AMA has played a pivotal role in shaping the parameters of regional modernism and introducing U.S. audiences to artists now recognized as masters of the period.

In addition to its role as a museum, AMA is an important space for cultural diplomacy, using art as a tool for fostering mutual understanding among the OAS member states. Over the years, the museum's collection has grown to include over 2,000 works by more than 400 artists, making it a significant repository of modern Latin American and Caribbean art. AMA continues to organize exhibitions and programs with emerging and established artists, providing a space for cultural expression, creativity, and dialogue while highlighting issues central to the OAS (democracy, equitable development, human rights, justice, and innovation) through the arts.

International Arts & Artists (IA&A) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing global-cultural understanding and exposure to the arts through exhibitions, programs, and exchanges that support artists, arts institutions, and the public. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., IA&A organizes D.C.-based and traveling exhibitions, facilitates cultural exchange programs, and leads dialogues and convenings that foster greater appreciation of the role of the arts in society, business, and public policy. Its contemporary art space, IA&A at Hillyer, presents exhibitions by emerging and underrepresented artists and serves as a platform for creative collaboration, critical discourse, and public engagement.
