Earlier this month, Art Jameel<\/a> launched a Dh550,000 grant programme called the Art Jameel Research and Practice Platform to provide micro-funds to artists, writers and curators in the Mena region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative from the Saudi Arabian foundation, which runs Jameel Art Centre<\/a> in Dubai, was created for practitioners whose projects have been affected by the cancellation of art exhibitions, art fairs and cultural events amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It’s affirming to see such incredible diversity and quality of projects being produced by individual artists, curators, writers and others, often against all the odds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonia Carver<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now, Dubai Culture<\/a> has announced its support of the platform through a UAE version, aimed at artists, creatives and collectives (of up to five people) living and working in the Emirates. Awarded applicants will receive micro-grants ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 (Dh3,600 to Dh11,000) to help them start or continue work. Up to 20 practitioners will be supported, depending on the submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globally and regionally, the arts and culture industry continues to be vulnerable in the wake of the pandemic. Dubai Culture\u2019s collaboration with Art Jameel marks the first government-associated grant in the UAE specifically targeted towards artists and cultural practitioners during the Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11090,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11088","inthenews","type-inthenews","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDubai Culture will give grants to around 20 UAE-based creatives via Art Jameel initiative - Abdul Latif Jameel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dubai Culture will give grants to around 20 UAE-based creatives via Art Jameel initiative - Abdul Latif Jameel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Earlier this month, Art Jameel launched a Dh550,000 grant programme called the Art Jameel Research and Practice Platform to provide micro-funds to artists, writers and curators in the Mena region.
