Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
The India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) has announced a request for proposals for the Arts Platforms Under its Arts Practice Programme to build and stimulate networks and spaces – physical or otherwise – that bring together artists within or across practices on a common ground with the aim of building solidarities, enabling creativity and sustainability of their practices.
The Arts Practice programme seeks to implement projects where artists expand their present range of practices in new directions. These could question accepted conventions, push new frontiers in content, form and medium, explore new modes of engagement with space, audience and communities, foregrounding a spirit of experimentation.
Artists might at times feel the need to come together to exchange ideas, foster new ways of expression or to generate nurturing networks that help sustain their practice. Such a desire to congregate might be triggered by a seeking for new artistic ideas outside of their own domain, a need to break free from a long period of solitary practice or by an urgency to respond artistically to a particular socio-political situation.
