Applications are open for the Liu Shiming Artist Grants 2025. Designed to support the work of visual artists during the first decade of their careers, the Liu Shiming Artist Grants support the creation or completion of new projects that explore the interplay between traditional cultural or historical influences and contemporary artistic practice.
Visual artists who have been working for at least two years (but not more than 10 years) are invited to apply for a grant in support of a current or new project. Final awardees will be chosen by a distinguished panel consisting of the Foundation’s Curatorial Director, an established artist, and accomplished representatives from a cross section of the art world.
Grant
- Each year, up to five artists will be selected to receive a $5,000 grant. Grants will be disbursed in two payments, with $3,000 by January 15, 2026 and the remaining $2,000 upon completion of the proposed project.
Eligibility
- Artists from any country may apply, but the application and supporting materials must be submitted in English.
- To be eligible for consideration, applicants must have either received a degree in studio arts between 2015 and 2023, or had their debut show at a gallery or juried art exhibition between 2015 and 2023.
