The Liu Shiming Art Foundation offers project-based grants to support artists pursuing new creative work. Funded projects are selected through an application and review process, with successful applicants notified directly by the foundation. Grant funds are released once the proposed project has been completed, encouraging accountable and completed creative output. The grant program is designed to give practicing artists direct financial support for developing new bodies of work, independent of exhibition or gallery representation, making it a flexible funding source for artists at various career stages.
