Deadline: 15 May 2020
To honour longstanding commitment to young artists and supporting art practice at a time which poses unprecedented challenges, Khoj would like to announce the Khoj Support Grant 2020 for early-career artists and creative practitioners.
The grant is intended to help artists stay engaged with their practice and support themselves in the process. At the end of the grant duration of six months, the artists can choose to either show a final outcome in case of material practice or share their documentation of their process through any medium of their choice – artist’s notebook or audio-visual documentation.
Funding Information
The grant is a bi-monthly (once every 2 months), rolling grant starting June 2020 through which Khoj will support the ongoing practice of twenty artists with a modest sum of Rs. 25,000/- each.
Eligibility Criteria
- All artists who have a demonstrable commitment to practice and have a need for financial support may apply.
- Please note that artists who already have a grant/arts fellowship or support from their galleries are advised to not apply so that the opportunity can be passed on to other creative practitioners. The grant is intended for those who need financial support at this time.
- Please note that an artist, an independent or a collective, can receive the Support Grant 2020 only once.
- The Khoj Support Grant is intended for emerging art practitioners within India.
Application Materials
- A Cover Letter that clearly demonstrates your need for this grant. Alternatively, you can choose to send an audio recording explaining your need for this grant in place of a cover letter. Applications are preferred in English and Hindi but vernacular/regional languages are also welcome.
- Portfolio: images of previous works not exceeding 5 MB (stills) to 25 MB (videos). Each work must have a short concept note or explanatory text accompanying it.
- Updated CV
