Art project in United Arab Emirates

Deadline: 10 January 2020

The Sharjah Art Foundation Production Programme broadens the possibilities for the production of art in the MENASA region (Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region) by supporting innovation and excellence in artistic practice through the encouragement of experimentation and risk-taking. Placing artists at the core of its mission, the foundation offers grants and professional support for the realisation of projects selected from an open call.

Arts practitioners are invited to propose imaginative, ambitious and inspirational projects that will transform our understanding of what art is and how it can be experienced. With this initiative, we at Sharjah Art Foundation hope to engage and challenge artists, our audiences and ourselves aesthetically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and politically.

We welcome visual art proposals from artists, collectives and collaborative groups. These collaborations may be between visual artists and choreographers, composers, filmmakers, writers, curators, theorists or other professionals working in fields such as science or philosophy.

In 2020, we are offering production grants to artists working in a range of media, including sculpture, installation, time-based media, artist’s books and performance.
