What We Support

We support artists and creatives in all disciplines in the creation of new artworks and projects that give visibility to the rich cultural legacy and living traditions of the Himalayan region. Artist project grants fund the exploration of concepts and ideas in Himalayan art that have the power to inspire today’s society. Rubin x Art Projects grants offer support of $2,500 to $25,000.

We prioritize the funding of new artworks and projects that will be accessible to a wide and diverse audience, as part of exhibitions or larger projects such as art fairs. We do not fund commercial projects.
