SaDe: Artist Support Fund, which came to life with the collaboration of IKSV and Mercedes-Benz Turkey, has managed to attract attention of all art circles as a structure aiming to contribute to the artistic development of artists who continue their digital and visual art production in Turkey.
The way to be a part of the project, which will provide 5,000 Euros to a total of 5 artists in one year to help early career artists develop their practices, is to apply to the fund with a project developed in the field of digital and visual arts or an interdisciplinary project presentation including several of these media to be evaluated by curator Kevser Güler, art historian, researcher and independent curator Yekhan Pınarlıgil, artist Hale Tenger, editor and independent curator Nilüfer Şaşmazer, academic, educational programmer and independent curator Işın Önol during each open call period.
For the fund application, the artist is expected to submit a curriculum vitae, portfolio, texts describing his/her artistic practice and his/her purpose in participating in the programme, and detailed information about the project to be supported by the fund.
