The Arts Practice programme seeks to implement projects that expand artists’ current practices in new directions. These could question accepted conventions, push new frontiers in content, form, and medium, explore new modes of engagement with space, audience, and communities, foregrounding a spirit of experimentation.

Under the Arts Practice programme, we invite proposals for Explorations that probe, test, and play with ideas nascent, risky, or unprecedented. These may not necessarily lead to an outcome. Such explorations could include thumbnailing, scribbling, scriptwriting, location scouting, animatics, jamming, storyboarding, rehearsing, sampling, robotics, lab explorations, and other forms of exploratory work used to examine ideas.

Duration of the project: Up to six months

Budget: Up to a maximum of Rs 1,00,000/-

Who can Apply?

We invite proposals from practitioners working within and across disciplines.

Call for proposal deadline: 30 April  2026
