منحة منصات الفنون التابعة لـ IFA لعام 2026: فرصة تمويل لمشاريع فنية تعاونية في الهند

The India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) has opened applications for its Arts Platforms initiative under the Arts Practice Programme. This grant supports collaborative artistic projects that bring together artists from different regions, disciplines, and generations across India. Selected projects may receive up to ₹3,00,000 in funding for a maximum duration of twelve months. The programme encourages a wide range of activities, including artist workshops, residencies, gatherings, interdisciplinary laboratories, peer‑learning programmes, community art initiatives, digital platforms, and hybrid events, which can be conducted in‑person, online, or in hybrid formats. Applicants must be Indian nationals applying as individual practitioners; organizations are not eligible. Required documentation includes a PAN card and proof of Indian citizenship (passport, Aadhaar, or Voter ID). Collaborators must also be Indian nationals and can be included if the applicant operates through a joint bank account. The application process consists of an optional query/draft stage (until 21 August 2026) followed by a final proposal submission deadline on 31 August 2026. Proposals are evaluated by an external review panel based on artistic quality, collaboration model, community relevance, and expected impact. Successful projects will be implemented under IFA’s guidance, with the aim of fostering inclusive, experimental, and sustainable artistic ecosystems throughout India.
