Art Incept is a platform committed to showcasing South Asia’s most promising emerging artists, creating an environment where talent can thrive through focused mentorship, expert guidance, and ample opportunities for growth. Our ‘mentors-first’ approach prioritizes the artist’s journey, offering a nurturing space to explore, evolve, and achieve their full potential.
The Inception Grant was initiated by Art Incept in the year 2020 in response to the challenges faced by emerging artists during Covid. More than a financial aid, the grant provides access to Art Incept’s mentors and curators, facilitating year-long development for awardees. The Grant has evolved into a significant stepping stone for South Asian artists, receiving over 1,000 applications annually.
“We are proud to present the Inception Grant 2025 Finalists—Arindam Manna, Ayesha Sultana, Badush Babu, Bhanu Srivastav, Bhavin Patel, Chaitali Paranjape, Debajit R Paul, Malinda Jayasinghe, Megha Singh, Riya Chandwani, Rohan & Roshan Anvekar, Rohit Varekar, and Shremoe D Prasad—each of whom brings a unique perspective, innovative approach, and compelling vision to their work. Their artistic expressions reflect the dynamic and evolving landscape of contemporary art in South Asia, and we are honored to celebrate their journey”, adds Singh.
