SAHA is pleased to announce opportunities for international art institutions that would like to collaborate with artists and curators from Turkey in 2024–2025. Since 2011, SAHA conceives grant schemes geared towards international non-profit art institutions, such as museums, biennials, and art institutes, etc. that can submit applications to SAHA for the funding of exhibitions and projects of artists and curators from Turkey. SAHA’s grant scheme prioritizes production costs of artworks and artist publications so the grants cannot be allocated for other items, such as shipping, travel, accommodation, installation, marketing, etc. Although there is no outlined application period for SAHA’s grant scheme, applications would be accepted continuously on the condition that they are made a minimum of 6 months prior to the date of the opening of the exhibition or project for which the grant is requested.

In 12 years, SAHA has supported projects by approximately 600 different artists, curators, and art writers in partnership with 220 non-profit institutions in 46 different countries. Beyond its commitment as a grant-giving organization, SAHA builds partnerships with international art institutions, e.g. Artis, Artworks, CIMAM, Delfina Foundation, ISCP New York, MORPHO, Rijksakademie, Slavs and Tatars Residency, and The Alternative Art School for residency and research programs. SAHA also supports the local ecosystem by collaborating with the biennials in Turkey whilst running its own programs, namely SAHA Studio and SAHA Residency founded in Istanbul for artists and curators; SAHA Art Writing Series developed with writers and art critics; and SAHA Sustainability Funds that support independent art initiatives and collectives in different regions of Turkey.
