FAQs

An ’emerging artist’, as per our definition, is a woman who is in the formative years of her journey, with less than five years of active practice. Age is merely a number in our books—whether you’ve found your passion for art at 18, 25, 40, or 60, you’re eligible. The key criteria are that you have not had a major exhibition with high-profile galleries or institutions and that your work exhibits originality, creativity, and promise.

Our selection process is rooted in our belief that every artist has a unique voice worth hearing. We (Arts to Hearts Project and our Jury) review each submission meticulously, focusing not on accolades or established reputation, but on the potential for growth and the freshness of perspective. Our decision is influenced by a blend of factors—originality, creativity, and promise being paramount.

Yes, the Arts to Hearts Project encourages applications from female artists across the globe. Your geographical location does not affect your eligibility to apply.
