Hearth Open Call

About the Open Call

[hearth] is a community art space initiative by Art Outreach supporting independent Singapore-based practitioners with free space and micro-grant funding for creation and exhibition. It provides a purpose-built, museum-quality space in Gillman Barracks for diverse mediums and artistic explorations, often engaging with social or environmental concerns. Since 2020, it has supported over 60 projects and 220 practitioners. Micro-grants of up to S$500 are available to defray direct production costs. The JYP Creative Legacy Fund offers up to S$3,000 for early-career practitioners (aged 40 and below) focusing on material, image-making, or process-driven practices, including graphic design, illustration, printmaking, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, and fashion. Projects at Hearth are not eligible for National Arts Council grants.
