The JYP Creative Legacy Fund was established to honour the life and work of JunYang Pow, a visionary artist whose passion for creativity and design left a lasting impact. JunYang’s artistic journey was marked by his resilience, his unique perspective on the world, and his unwavering belief in the power of art to bring people together.
Even in his final months, JunYang’s vision for helping emerging artists remained clear. Proceeds from his final exhibition were used to establish the Fund, which is administered by Art Outreach Singapore. The Fund aims to provide opportunities for young artists, illustrators, and designers to showcase their work, host workshops, and gain visibility in the art community.
In reflecting JunYang’s legacy, the JYP Creative Legacy Fund continues his passion for nurturing creativity and supporting those who are starting their artistic journeys. The Fund will empower young artists and foster a vibrant artistic community for years to come, enabling the next generation to pursue their creative dreams and contribute to a more connected world through art.
How to Apply?
The JYP Creative Legacy Fund offers up to S$3,000 in project support for early-career creatives (aged 40 and below) working in material, image-making, or process-driven practices. This includes graphic design, illustration, printmaking, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, and fashion.
To apply for the JYP Creative Legacy Fund, simply submit your project through the Hearth Open Call and indicate your interest in being considered for the fund. Please note that applicants may only apply for either the JYP Creative Legacy Fund or the Hearth micro-grant, not both.
