TAF Artist Award 2027 – South Asia 2027 (NEW)

The TAF Artist Award 2027 – South Asia 2027 is the flagship recognition programme of The Arts Family (TAF), an international arts platform based in London that supports contemporary artists, curators and cultural practitioners. The award is open to mid‑career or established artists who have at least ten years of professional practice and a substantial, cohesive portfolio. While the award prioritises artists from South Asia and the Global South, it welcomes exceptional artists from any region whose work aligns with the programme’s focus on material innovation, conceptual rigor and cultural dialogue. The selected artist will receive a major solo exhibition curated and supported by TAF, an acquisition or production grant of up to INR 1,50,000 to develop new work, international visibility through TAF’s global platforms, and publication and press coverage in TAF’s annual archive and digital/print media. Applications are reviewed by an international jury of artists, curators and museum professionals. The deadline for submissions is 1 September 2026, with the award period running from October 2026 to September 2027.
