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. The 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. Salt Research’s archival resources are encouraged for this research grant. The Production Grant will support an artistic production responsive to film and moving images’ dynamic, diverse, and evolving nature. The scope of this grant includes traditional or expanded forms of storytelling, visual expression, and performance using film, cinema, and new media.
