Grant program in support of young Russian artists 2016/2017

DESCRIPTION

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce that from June 22 we will be accepting applications for our emerging artist support program for the year 2016/2017.

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.
