The cultural and artistic heritage is one of the key strategies of Sharjah for the development of socio-cultural programs. Thus, as part of this mission, the Sharjah Art Foundation announced the launch of a grant program for talented artists and creators residing in the Emirates. This initiative contributes to the creation of a favorable environment for the development of artists and fosters the creative process in the region.
The essence of the program lies in providing artists with individual support in the form of grants for the realization of their research and projects. Grants can be used for the procurement of materials, financing exhibitions and residencies, as well as for the realization of other initiatives that contribute to the creative process.
The main goal of the program is to stimulate artistic creativity in the region, as well as to support research and experimentation in the field of contemporary art. This initiative opens up new horizons for artists, providing them with the opportunity to fully dedicate themselves to their creativity. The jury, which will select the grant laureates, will consist of renowned figures from the world of art and culture.
Each grant will be presented in specific research or artistic projects, which allows artists to work on their ideas and bring a fresh perspective to contemporary art. Such programs help develop the artistic scene, stimulate support for young talents, and create an inspiring environment for creativity.
