Announcing the new Creative Residency Community Fund.
The Adobe Creative Residency programme is launching a $1M Community Fund to support creators of visual digital work. We’ll offer grants of $500–$5,000USD for either a portfolio project or a paid Adobe project commission. The programme will run for 12 months starting May 2020 and we’ll be giving grants and commissioning work each month.
How the residency works.
Adobe Creative Residents receive access to the best creative tools and resources, along with guidance from advisors and a compensation package. In return, residents proactively pursue their own personal creative projects while sharing their processes, insights and inspirations with the community along the way.
Meet the 2020 residents.
From their studios in London and Denver, the newest Adobe Creative Residents are using photography and interaction design to explore positive uses of technology in daily life. Find out about their work and plans for the year.
