Deadline: 16 June 2025
Applicants are now invited to submit applications for the Auster Fund to empower creators with community and resources to build lasting legacies through their work.
Many Indian artists are pushing boundaries – experimenting with new formats, challenging norms, preserving cultural legacies – often without institutional support. auster.fund is built for them.
They offer this fund to give creators the momentum they need to realize ambitious ideas – projects that might otherwise stay stuck in notebooks or disappear in the scroll. Not because they lack vision, but because they lack support. This is their invitation to India’s emerging creative community: to shape culture on your own terms.
