In world grappling with rising authoritarianism, inequality, and environmental crises, artists stand as catalysts for social change. The Soros Arts Fellowship, launched by Open Society Foundations in 2018, support innovative mid-career artists and cultural producers advancing social change around the world. The fellowship provides artists with the resources to develop a large-scale project on their own terms, and in their own local contexts.
