Sustaina India 3 Fellowships 2025 - 26

Sustaina India, a first-of-its-kind art x climate change initiative by Thukral and Tagra (T & T) and Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), calls for applications for the third edition of Sustaina India Fellowships. The Fellowship programme will support three creators over six months to realise impact-driven mixed-media and multimedia art projects at the intersection of art, climate science and research. The fellowship will culminate in a 10-14-day-long exhibition in New Delhi in January/February 2026.

Eligibility: Young and emerging artists currently residing in India. Artists across all mediums are welcome.

What you get: The Sustaina Fellowship offers a total grant of INR 3,00,000 to each selected Fellow, comprising an honorarium of INR 1,50,000 and a production budget of INR 1,50,000 to develop a new art project. The Fellowship begins with an in-person workshop in Delhi and includes mentorship from Sustaina's curators, Thukral and Tagra, to support the development and execution of the final work. Fellows will also receive knowledge support from CEEW, one of Asia’s leading public policy think tanks. The completed projects will be showcased at a prominent gallery in Delhi, with travel and accommodation provided for both the workshop and the exhibition.
