We are particularly interested in supporting those with a grounded and innovative art practice that is inclusive in its process, implementation, and reach.”

Annually, the initiative offers 100 emerging artists the opportunity to amplify their practice and interests with the major aim of “sparking a new wave of change-makers.”

  • The program allows recipients to determine how best to use the support gained.
  • It is an opportunity for artists to explore new perspectives, experiment, and focus on their work without any financial pressure.

  • The applicant must be in the early or exploratory level of their career, within the first 1 to 5 years of their professional career (excluding study years).
  • The applicant must have created an innovative practice that addresses pressing social/political issues in their local context.
  • The applicant should have received little to no institutional recognition or support in their practice.

I am a Lion, I love to hit heights that seem impossible so I can motivate others and prove doubters wrong. For me, impossible is nothing. I'm open to learning and I love to read, travel and meet new faces.
