Threshold, de Artisera

Threshold is a development programme launched by Artisera in partnership with Brigade Group, aimed at supporting practising Indian visual artists aged 28 to 50 who have at least six years of committed practice. The programme offers a monetary grant of ₹1,00,000 per artist, dedicated mentorship over six months, and a series of curated sessions including artist talks, studio visits, workshops, and peer exchanges. Participants will travel to Bangalore for in‑person sessions, with travel and accommodation covered for those coming from outside the city. The programme culminates in three physical exhibitions held in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad, providing artists with exposure to a broad audience and access to Artisera’s collector network. In addition, artists receive professional documentation, press coverage, and the possibility of long‑term gallery representation. Applications are accepted from 1 August to 20 September 2026, with selection by a jury of industry experts. The programme is open to Indian citizens residing in India and excludes those enrolled in educational programmes or already participating in similar mentorships.
