Khoj Support Grants in India for Early-Career Artists
To honour longstanding commitment to young artists and supporting art practice at a time which poses unprecedented challenges, Khoj would like to announce the Khoj Support Grants for early-career artists and creative practitioners.
The grant is intended to help artists stay engaged with their practice and support themselves in the process.
At the end of the grant duration of six months, the artists can choose to either show a final outcome in case of material practice or share their documentation of their process through any medium of their choice – artist’s notebook or audio-visual documentation.
