Transverse Grant

ADAGP and the non-profit Freelens have partnered to create the Transverse programme. Intended for a duo, this €7,000 grant aims to promote original narrative forms and encourage the creation of works between a photographer and an artist from another visual arts discipline. The project will ultimately be presented in a book, in collaboration with a publisher.

How much is the grant?

The €12,000 grant is divided as follows:

• €7,000 for the selected duo (photographer and visual artist);
• €5,000 for the publication of the book.
   

Who can apply?

• A duo comprising a photographer and a visual artist from the French art scene (have been living or working in France for at least five years or are French nationals living abroad). The duo may collaborate with a publisher;
• The duo must have proven professional artistic experience (exhibitions, publications, participation in fairs or festivals, etc.)
   

For what kind of work?

• The work must be a joint creation in the field of photography and another visual arts discipline that is part of ADAGP’s repertoire;
• The work must be an original creation and must be produced within one year of the grant being awarded;
• The work will be presented in a book published within two years of the grant being awarded.
