About the award:
Since our foundation in 2009, we have been active with the arts community and are committed to giving back through this programme. A percentage of the funds generated at our annual Art Auction goes towards the Artist Fund to help run this programme. We are in the third phase of this project and are delighted that our second artist for this residency programme – Manar Al Shouha, enjoyed her residency!
Please read the Guidelines for SCOOP Residency before you submit your application form.
We welcome applications from artists working across all fine art platforms.
