Mrinalini Mukherjee Foundation’s support programs are aimed at art practitioners, researchers and writers, students, educators/teachers, and art institutions such as museums and non profit organisations working directly with various arts communities.
The Foundation's disbursements of funds for the arts happen through different methods - open applications, nominations, as well as through collaborations with other organisations on grant programs. Each of our support programs are specially designed to help with various stages and processes of practice that go into sustaining a healthy art ecosystem.
Our scholarships aimed at art students allows for talented but underprivileged students to continue their course and studio practice. Our fellowships recognise exceptional talent among students and provides an impetus for them to stand out among their peers.
