Launched in 2010, The Pool Grant was created as a means to support the development of emerging talent in the region. Since then, it has provided funding to twelve individual artists, as well as the first joint project in 2019.

The Pool Grant is an independent initiative that provides a cash grant of $10,000, exhibition funding to the value of $10,000, and a year of mentorship from Pool’s artists and makers to conceptualise and produce a solo exhibition.

Throughout each project, Pool artists have acted as mentors to each year’s recipient, assisting with their process and guiding them through the rigours of creating a solo body of work fit for a gallery space.

Teva Cosic will exhibit her Pool Grant No.14 project, Tillsammans och Isär, at Mary Cherry Gallery in Collingwood from 10—26 July. Opening night will be held on Thursday, 10 July, from 6 p.m. For further information, refer to Pool socials closer to the date.

There will be no call for applications for the next grant prior to Teva's exhibition opening. An announcement regarding the future direction of The Pool Grant will be made on opening night — stay tuned.
