Mission
The India Arts Funding Forum seeks to address siloed knowledge, opaque networks and scattered information in the arts funding landscape of the country.
​
With a community-led approach at its heart, it is envisioned as a digital portal accessible on the web and mobile with Indian artists across disciplines, locations and experience levels as its primary audience.
Uses
On the forum, artists can:
-
Upload funding proposals
-
Consent to be contacted by other artists for feedback and guidance
-
Receive feedback on draft or unsuccessful funding proposals
-
Explore a real-time list of funding opportunities by theme, discipline and other filters
-
Create and engage in discussion threads about arts funding-related topics
​
The forum relies on crowd-sourced materials (proposals, opportunities, threads) and peer-led activity (discussions, feedback, submissions) to open up knowledge, networks and information for artists.
