“Around 17 applications were received from UAE artists since the grants were announced a month ago,” Kabra told Khaleej Times. “One application was so perfectly done, we awarded it on the spot, but we also plan to offer grants to several others.”
She explained that some of the best art grant seekers had very good ideas, but lacked knowledge in determining their project’s budget. “We are going to invite around five of these applicants to the foundation to teach them how to calculate their budget. Then we will offer the awards,” she said.
The applications which impressed the judges most included one on film production and another on writing a book about Emirati artists, a subject that hasn’t yet been published in the UAE. “Other artists required funding to organise an exhibition or to undertake a travel to Europe to see a particular art exhibition,” Kabra said.
Even though the Emirates Foundation is set in Abu Dhabi, it operates nationwide, encouraging UAE nationals from all emirates to apply for the grants. “This time we received applications from Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah,” said Kabra.
She also pointed out that with each application the judges were able to see the artist’s portfolio, which shows how dedicated and passionate he or she is. “This helps us to assist the local artists, as we aim at raising the standard of art in the Emirates and bring it at par with the art centres such as New York, London and Paris, “ Kabra added.
