WHO CAN APPLY ?
Southeast Asian artists and those from ethnic minority backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply to the Fund. We do however welcome applications from all nationalities, providing you are currently based in Southeast Asia. Partnerships and collaborations with other artists, biologists, scientists, etc. are encouraged (but at a distance during COVID 19).

PARDICOLOR DURING COVID 19
