Our first ever fundraiser!
Get into the spirit of giving with us this season! With the support of 20 photographers, filmmakers and artists, Objectifs hopes to raise $50,000 to carry out the work we do for and with the community, championing film and photography in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
The devastating impact of Covid-19 on the arts has meant that our income has dived significantly. Despite the pandemic, Objectifs has continued to support artists and the wider community in the last few months, through initiatives such as:
- Raising almost $60,000 for the migrant worker community through an online print sale.
- Championing Southeast Asian short films through the Objectifs Film Library and Objectifs Short Film Incubator.
- Incubating ideas and growing networks through our women artists residency. and new Curatorial (Case) Studies programme.
We need your help to tide us through these difficult times. Your donation will go towards sustaining:
- Exhibitions, screenings, workshops, talks and residencies that reach up to 40,000 people a year.
- Programmes that bring you important and meaningful stories around the world such as Stories That Matter, Women in Film and Photography and the Objectifs Film Library.
- New and under-represented artistic talent through our developmental platforms such as the Shooting Home Youth Awards, Curator Open Call, Objectifs Documentary Awards and Objectifs Short Film Incubator.
- Free activities for the under-privileged and elderly.
In appreciation of your support, 20 artists have generously offered their prints, specially made as gifts for donations contributed in the following tiers:
$90 and above – one 18cm (square image) or 27cm (other aspect ratios) print
$300 and above – one 35cm (square image) or 45cm (other aspect ratios) print
$500 and above – one 50cm (square image) or 60cm (other aspect ratios) print
