The Raia Project
A $50,000 sponsorship that pays for an emerging artist to live and work in New York City for six months, and puts the work in front of buyers.
The term ends with a pop-up exhibition hosted by the project and opened with a private party for collectors and tastemakers. The artist earns from every sale and leaves with buyers who know their name.
Who
Emerging artists living in New York City, any visual medium, without major gallery representation.
What to send
Images of recent work, a few words about you and the work, and how you would use six months.

Applications close December 30, 2026.
Artists announced February 26, 2027.
