ARTISTS OF CHOICE
The KSF grants supported emerging artists and companies, giving them a financial boost of up to £10,000 / $10,000, mentoring opportunities with respected industry professionals and advice on how to promote themselves and their project.
Every year we selected ten KSF Artists of Choice, five UK based applicants and five US based applicants.
