Deadline: 15-Oct-22
Mophradat is pleased to launch the Grants for Artists program to include two components:
- providing artists with flexible financial support that can be used towards their livelihood, ongoing research, and/or the realization of a particular proposal;
- connecting the participating artists with their peers (from the selection committee) with whom they would engage in a structured dialogue over three sessions throughout the grant period.
The program is only open to those interested in an ongoing conversation with the professional peers that Mophradat is engaging for this purpose.
Funding Information
For each edition, the program provides approximately ten grants of either US$2,500 or US$5,000 covering periods of research, residencies, production of new work, curating and presenting shows, amongst other forms of artistic work.
Eligibility Criteria
Before applying, please make sure you have read the complete open call and that your application must meet the general eligibility criteria listed here:
- It is free of any intention to promote intolerance, violence, patriarchal worldviews, or any form of discrimination based on ability, age, gender, nationality, origin, race, religion, or sexuality;
- It does not contradict Mophradat’s mission and values, which you can read here;
- It is for a contemporary arts activity (all disciplines are welcome);
- It does not involve any commercial activity or organizations.
In addition to complying with the general eligibility criteria that you can read here, please note the following:
- Artists must be able to demonstrate their engagement with a specific project that they are developing.
- Artists’ working methodology must be compatible with a progressive and inclusive approach to work.
- Artists must have previously completed art works and be involved in an artistic scene.
- Institutions are not eligible to apply but artists can apply to develop, collaborate, or present a project with an institution.
- The proposal must have a clear intended outcome, whether practical, intellectual, or philosophical.
- The proposal must be achievable within twelve months of the grant submission deadline.
- The program does not cover production and post-production projects for feature films, producing LPs, degree-based study programs (such as MAs or PhDs), nor literary projects, which are notably eligible for the Writing Sabbaticals program;
- Aiming for balanced professional relationships, Mophradat does not support applications to cover the costs and fees of artists invited to run a workshop, administer, or curate projects in Europe or North America that fall under categories of (temporary) employment in those contexts, and should be covered by those hosts’ institutional budgets.
