After a thorough evaluation process of the 164 eligible submissions from 27 countries, Fresh Milk is over the moon to announce the recipients of our first unrestricted grant programme – TENDER. As a gesture of generosity, faith and care, these grants represent an effort to support the artists working in the region’s contemporary visual arts sector. When thinking about the cultural ecosystem in the Caribbean, how can we encourage a positive shift in expectations and practice around security and tangible support of our artists, art writers, researchers, organisations and curators?
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to apply; as mentioned in the jury report, the quality of the profiles shared made for a difficult decision-making process. For their lengthy work in reviewing these submissions, we are very appreciative of their thoughtfulness, attention and collaboration.
