Deadline: August 17,

J P Morgan is launching the Abadali Art Collection Project in support of
sustainable development of fine art in South Africa. This project will
prioritise national artists from socio-economically disadvantaged areas and is
designed to offer educational and entrepreneurial development. The art
collected through this project will form part of a global art collection held
by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
J P Morgan recognises the potential artists have on significantly
impacting the South African creative economy when given support. It views
artists as art creators, cultural creators and future job creators and the
Abadali Art Collection Project is an investment in future South African fine
artists.
The project is divided into two programmes, namely: the Abadali Art
Development Programme and the Abadali Mid-Level Programme. While work from both
programmes will be included in the art collection, they are targeted at two
different groups of artists based on their level of experience.
Abadali Art
Development Programme
The Abadali Art Development Programme is aimed at artists with limited
experience. This project is a four-month long process including skills development
workshops, mentorship, and a monthly remuneration to help the artist produce
four bodies of work for the J.P.Morgan Abadali Art Collection during the period
September to December 2018.
Abadali Mid-Level
Programme
The Abadali Art Collection Programme is aimed at mid-level career
artists (with more than five years professional practice or who have shown a
solo exhibition of their work). These artists will submit an electronic
portfolio and successful artists selected for this programme will be contacted
for direct purchase or commissioning of work.
Both programmes are aimed at artists over the age of 21 and will
prioritise black (African, Coloured and Indian) South Africans from
socio-economically disadvantaged areas.
NB: Only painting, drawing, printmaking, photography – installation and
sculpture will be considered for selection.
