Consortium Commissions

Consortium Commissions is a co-commissioning model that selects, produces and exhibits new artworks by emerging artists from the Arab world through a network of partner museums, art centres, theatres and festivals. Mophradat provides each selected artist with a grant of up to US$20,000 to cover production of a new project. Selected works are presented at two partner institutions, which curate and fully finance the exhibitions and performances. The programme runs on a two-year cycle and is currently in its third edition.
