Vasl Artists’ Association in collaboration with the Khurram Kasim Art Foundation launched the KKAF-Vasl Research Grant in 2018 to the qualifying artists of Taaza Tareen residencies.
The KKAF-Vasl Research Grant aims to support and fund talented emerging artists who demonstrate artistic merit, commitment to their creative practice and show a keen interest in engaging and building ties with the community. The year-long grant supports artists in research and in creation of original works. They are also awarded a solo show at the prestigious Canvas Gallery in Karachi. Artists are chosen from amongst Vasl’s annual Taaza Tareen residency.
Since 2018, the Khurram Kasim Art Foundation has annually sponsored the year-long Vasl Research Grant.
Since 2019, the Canvas Gallery has been showcasing the works produced by the KKAF-Vasl Research Grant recipient artist.
