Deadline 30th July  2019| Age 18-35 | Are you a visual artist creating a positive impact. Enter to attend the OYW 2019 Summit and gain a 1 month residency program in France.

Art is not passive, stationary, or two-dimensional. It is a universal vehicle for unbridled expression, empathy, and social change. The world of today, as it always has, needs great art and great artists to broaden our consciousness and drive the conversation around the complex web of issues we face—social, political, and ecological. For this scholarship, they are seeking the next generation of artists following in the footsteps of Mapplethorpe, Banksy, and Ono, employing their art as a generator of social progress.

A panel of esteemed judges will review applications and select the final candidate.

  • Provide a CV and art portfolio;
