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.

Each artist selected will receive a grant of €20,000\. (All grants are subject to withholdings and other taxes as stipulated by current legislation, which will be deducted from the corresponding monetary amount) to cover their part of the production costs. Additionally, the institutions will fund a two-week residency in Spain, including the artist’s travel costs, visa application, and accommodation. Both projects must be completed by the end of March 2025\. 

  
Furthermore, the selected artists will receive support during the exhibition phase in 2025, with both institutions in Türkiye and Spain covering additional costs for the presentation in line with the works or body of works produced as a result of the grant.
