The one-of-a-kind £150,000 Transformative Grant, the largest grant from a collective of private individuals in the world, affords the opportunity for a significant project to radically rethink the art institution of the future. Outset Partners awarded these six grants with the belief that the recipients will make powerful and transformational societal changes, with art at their very core.Ĭandida Gertler OBE, Co-founder, Co-Director and Partner, and Nicolette Cavaleros, Co-Director Outset, on behalf of the Outset Partners The Outset Partners were struck by projects that sought access to art for all, placing artists in schools across the country, connecting varied communities (be they local, urban or indigenous), creating exhibitions that challenge and provide diasporic recognition, and engaging with the potentiality of digital technology to move into a phygital future that all audiences can be a part of. In Cycle III, we saw artists and institutions striving towards the new digital future while seeking ways to have a significant social impact. The approach to collective decision-making is based on actively listening to the arts sector, exploring emerging themes and investigating social trends, to identify where support can have the greatest impact.Įach Cycle, Outset Partners witness shifts across the arts, from a push for the cultural sector to work more sustainably, to establishing innovative models in an increasingly ‘phygital world’. The central tenet of Outset Partners is one of responsive philanthropy that adapts to the ever-changing needs of the creative ecosystem. Green Papaya Art Projects: Part of the exhibition Don’t Even Bring Water at the Roxas City Civic Center showing a collaborative painting installation The Sea and Horizon by 140 Visayan artists, and part of the installation with motorcycles Habal-habal by the Skylab, a collective of artists based in rural communities in Capiz. In Cycle III (2021), a total of £275,000 is being awarded across a range of agenda-setting museums, galleries, and public institutions – both within the UK and internationally – to support challenging new art projects with a demonstrable transformative aspect for the creative ecosystem. Outset Contemporary Art Fund has announced the recipients of six grants being awarded by the Outset Partners programme.
