salt artistic research and production grant program

Salt and the BBVA Foundation are pleased to announce the Salt Artistic Research and Production Grant Program, geared towards artists from Türkiye who investigate contemporary social questions through interdisciplinary methodologies.

This two-year grant program will provide a dynamic space for artistic research and production, encouraging robust engagement between creative practitioners and their communities across the region. This year’s grants will support two works at the intersection of art, technology, and ecology and are open to creative practitioners from various disciplines, including visual arts, curatorial practices, design, film, video, and performance.

The Artistic Research Grant will facilitate in-depth artistic research, focusing on contemporary art and design, technology, and ecology. The use of Salt Research’s archival resources is encouraged for this research grant. The Production Grant will support an artistic production responsive to the dynamic, diverse, and evolving nature of the moving image. The scope of this grant includes traditional or expanded forms of storytelling, visual expression, and performance using film, cinema, and new media.
