Garage Museum of Contemporary Art continues its program in support of emerging Russian artists

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce that from August 15 we will be accepting applications for our emerging artist support program for the year 2017/2018.

Currently the only program of its kind in the country, Garage’s grant program was launched in 2012 in order to create a system of support for emerging artists. Garage accepts applications from artists ages 18 to 35, and the winners, selected by an expert jury, are awarded a monthly fellowship of 30,000 rubles. Offering emerging artists a period of financial independence, the program allows them to become more deeply engaged in creative activities, to grow professionally, and to conduct research. Recipients are also invited to take part in Garage’s exhibition and education programs.

In 2017/2018, grants will be awarded in two categories: grants for contemporary art; and a special Signet Land Art project grant for a land art piece in Gorky Park.
