En Foco's New Works is an annual grant program that helps artists of Latino, African, Asian and Native American heritage to create or complete an in-depth photographic series exploring themes of their choice, providing the infrastructure needed for national visibility and a professional exhibition of their new work in the New York area.

New Works #16 features Yijun Pixy Liao, Mercedes Dorame, Daniel Ballesteros, Jared Soares, Rodrigo Valenzuela, selected by our guest juror, Natasha Egan, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, IL.

The goal of New Works is to identify and promote talented emerging and mid-career artists, creating a cross-cultural dialogue and providing artists with exposure and growth opportunities. Your book purchase and support of En Foco helps keep the program strong.
