Mophradat is calling for applications for their program Grants for Artists’ Practice. Beside time and access to technical skills, artists need stimulating input, conversations with peers, and exchange with audiences. To facilitate these ongoing processes, Grants for Artists’ Practice has been set up with structured dialogue amongst participating artists and with peers from the advisory committee as one of its main components.
Alongside this opportunity for critical feedback, the program provides artists with flexible financial support that can be used towards their livelihood, periods of research, residencies, the production of new work, and curating and presenting shows, amongst other forms of artistic work.
The program provides grants of either 4,000 USD or 8,000 USD to six artists from the Arab world who consider that region their 'home'.
Artists will also participate in approximately eight conversations organized by Mophradat. These conversations involve the entire year's cohort and take place once a month during the first six months of the grant period, with two more towards the program's end. The sessions include four individual conversations with peers and four group sessions where participants share their current projects and practices.
You can find more information about the eligibility criteria and fill out the application form on Mophradat's website.
