    Erica Roberts, Founder

    ERA Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that amplifies the visibility of artists from Latin America, the Caribbean and their global diasporas.

    Erica Roberts, an Argentine-born collector and passionate arts advocate, established ERA Foundation in 2025 to consolidate and build on more than thirty years of sustained commitment to Latin American art.

    As an active cultural philanthropist, Erica Roberts has held leadership roles across numerous non-profit organisations, and serves on the boards and committees of some of the world’s leading cultural institutions, including Tate Modern in London, where she currently serves as Co-Chair of the Latin American Acquisitions Committee; the Americas Society in New York, and MALBA and the Museo de arte Moderno in Buenos Aires.

    Through strategic support and meaningful partnerships, the Foundation serves as a connector and a springboard for Latin American and Caribbean artists, academics, and institutions, cementing their presence within the regional and international  cultural discourse.
