About the Open Call

The Working-Class (Creative) Grant is funded through a portion of Karim Boumjimar's art sales and supports other artists and creatives directly. It is a one-off €500 grant awarded throughout the year to a different working-class creative anywhere in the world. The grant is intended for people who receive little or no institutional support and who would benefit from practical financial assistance. There are no strings attached and no expectation of exchange. The grant does not require an artwork donation or reporting. It is offered in the spirit of informal patronage and mutual support. The funds may be used freely for materials, equipment, research, travel, development, printing, subscriptions, studio time, or simply to help cover rent, food and living costs.
