Mosaic Art Fund

Introducing the Mosaic Art Fund

The Coral Gables Community Foundation is launching the Mosaic Art Fund in 2026. This new Fund supports a critical need in the creative arts economy of South Florida by providing unrestricted grants to local, emerging, and mid-career artists working primarily in the Miami-Dade area.

Built on a Track Record of Success

The Mosaic Art Fund builds upon the legacy and impact of the Corral & Cathers Art Fund. This Fund has made $165,000 in grants to 36 artists since 2023. Building on its success, The Corral & Cathers Art Fund will re-launch as the Mosaic Art Fund.

The new Fund leverages the expertise of the Coral Gables Community Foundation, which has embraced and supported arts and culture as a strategic funding priority for decades, with projects such as the Coral Gables Museum and the Coral Gables Art Cinema.

Why Now?

South Florida’s arts community – including independent artists – is facing a crisis driven by significant federal and state cuts to arts programs. As a result, funding for artists and support for their work remain uncertain across our community. The Mosaic Art Fund will provide a much-needed path for private-sector donors to fund and address the severe cuts in public sector funding for independent artists and the key organizations that serve them.

Empowering Local Artists

Uniquely, the Fund will provide unrestricted support for artists, providing a lifeline during these challenging times while supporting their professional and artistic development.

In 2026 the Mosaic Art Fund will make grants valued at $250,000. Its growth strategy seeks to award over $1 million by 2030, supporting the area’s essential community of independent artists.

Proven Leadership

The Mosaic Art Fund will be led by entrepreneur, artist, and philanthropist Ray Corral and advised by arts advocate Catherine Cathers. As an accomplished artist himself, Ray has led the Community Foundation’s efforts to directly support emerging artists in South Florida.
