Artists from all over India can apply till June 30 for Space118’s fine art production grant of Rs 15,000 to Rs 1,00,000 for their new and ongoing projects. The grant is part of Space118’s continuing attempt to support visual artists and art-making. A jury comprising art collector Lekha Poddar, gallerist Mortimer Chatterjee and artist Shilpa Gupta will choose the grantees, who will also be able to participate in mentorship and review sessions with a senior or mid-career artist. The recipients will get to exhibit their work through a ‘Virtual Open Studio day’ accessible on Space118’s social media handles and receive regular updates on art and cultural events across India. “This is a very important starter grant for those struggling to be a part of the art world, we have a fine jury and mentors,” says Saloni Doshi, director of Space118. The names of the grantees will be announced in August.
