The Inception Grant, initiated in 2020 in response to the challenges faced by emerging artists during Covid, has evolved into a significant stepping stone for South Asian artists, receiving over 1,000 applications annually. More than a financial aid, the grant provides access to our mentors and curators, facilitating year-long development for awardees.
In an exciting addition, Art Incept introduced the Inception Grant for Art Writers in 2023, expanding our commitment to fostering diverse voices in the art world. This new initiative complements our mission by supporting emerging art writers in South Asia, providing them with a platform to explore and articulate the evolving landscape of contemporary art.
Having awarded 11 grants and year-long mentorship programs since 2020, we proudly collaborate with esteemed institutions such as Triveni Kala Sangam and the Amar Nath Sehgal Foundation, amplifying the grant’s impact. As part of the Inception Grant, we present the Tacita Dean Award, selected by renowned visual artist Ms. Dean.
Art Incept’s aim remains to foster fresh, compelling narratives from across South Asia, shaping the future of contemporary art.
