liu shiming artist grant

The Liu Shiming Art Foundation is now accepting applications for a new round of Liu Shiming Artist Grants designed to support the work of visual artists during the first decade of their careers. Up to five grants will support the creation or completion of new projects.

“In keeping with the creative practice of Liu Shiming, this round of Artist Grants will focus on projects that explore the interplay between traditional cultural or historical influence and contemporary artistic practice,” explains Fran Kaufman, Curatorial Director of Liu Shiming Art Gallery. Kaufman will head up the international selection panel of distinguished professionals representing a cross-section of the art world to review top applications.

Applicants will be evaluated based on several attributes, including but not limited to:

• Professional artistic background.
• Purpose of entry.
• Project’s connection to the legacy or cultural themes of this year’s Grants program.
• Originality and uniqueness of the applicant's artistic practice.
