  • Space118 Art Foundation Fundraiser Shows

    Space118 Art Foundation Fundraiser Shows

    Space118 Art Foundation hosts annual curated exhibitions featuring 25–30 emerging and non-represented artists, designed to create visibility for them. 50% of the proceeds go to the participating artists, and the remainder 50% towards the Space118 Art Foundation Grant Initiatives, sustaining a circular model of support in the Indian art ecosystem. 

  • Space118 Art Foundation Fine Arts Grant

    Space118 Art Foundation Fine Arts Grant

    Space118 Art Foundation invites artists from all over India to apply for a production grant in the range of INR 15,000 to 1,00,000 towards the realization of an ongoing or new project. The grant includes two online mentorship sessions, an online review session with the jury, and an opportunity for the grantees to present their works through an InstaLive Open Studio session. 

  • Icebreaker Sessions

    ICEBREAKER SESSIONS

    ICEBREAKER SESSIONS

    Our Grant artists are asked to demonstrate their work and artistic practice during the Icebreaker Session. This digital peer forum strives to bring these artists together with their contemporaries in order to promote dialogue, constructive critique, and community building.
  • Guidance and Mentoring

    Guidance and Mentoring

    Artists are fueled by their surroundings, inspired by the people they meet and the experiences they have. Sometimes, a mere conversation can be the seed for a masterpiece or a series of work. We, at Space118 recognize this and actively facilitate conversations with mentors for our Grant artists in the form of Icebreaker and Mentorship sessions.
  • Social Media

    Social Media

    Our Facebook and Instagram profiles, as well as our newsletters, provide updates on our grantees, upcoming artists, their practices, and other ongoing events. Additionally, we have each grant artist take over our social media platforms for a week to give our audiences an insight into their creative process. Through these platforms, we are able to create awareness about our initiatives and engage with a global audience.
