PUSH

With the PUSH scheme, the Amarte Fonds introduces a new initiative designed to give a group of makers an opportunity to advance their practice. Artists who have previously received support from the fund are invited by a selection committee to take their work to the next level.

A grant of up to €20,000 can be used in a variety of ways, whether to realize an artistic project, conduct research, forge new collaborations, develop professional skills, or enhance international visibility. The PUSH scheme empowers makers to define their own path toward growth.

This initiative is not open for applications; participation is by invitation only and depends on the available annual budget. The committee selects makers not only based on quality but mostly on the potential of the maker at this moment in their career.

Curious to see who has already received this opportunity? The following makers were awarded a PUSH grant:
