Rs 2 lakh art grant in memory of collector Amol Vadehra

Contemporary artists from the country under the age of 40 years are now eligible to receive a grant of Rs. 2 lakh to help them develop a body of works.
The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA) today announced the 'Amol Vadehra Art Grant' which enables artists to cover direct costs towards creative development and production of body of artworks.
The awardee would be selected via a pool of nominations received from members of the art community. The nominees are expected to make a formal proposal to FICA about a work or body of works they wish to produce.
The final recipient of the award is scheduled to be announced in January 2016.

The grant has been established in memory of Delhi-based art collector Amol Vadehra who passed away earlier this year at the age of 37. His family owns the Vadehra Art Gallery here.
