APOC Grants.
Providing support for designers and artists from marginalized communities
APRIL 7, 2022 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO
APOC Store, the online marketplace for fashion, design, and art that was created to celebrate the new generation of designers with great devotion to curating and sourcing progressive and consciously-created pieces from artists and designers across the globe, presents APOC Grants, an initiative to support designers and artists from marginalized communities.
Preserving the company’s aim to provide some help and support to emerging designers and the new generation of artist, through APOC Grants they want to favor those that do not have the financial advantage and the social connections required to network. In their own words, “the industry is unfair and we want to find ways to make it more equal,” from the education to founding a new brand.
There are many communities excluded from mainstream social, economic, educational, and/or cultural life, and they have more obstacles at the time of breaking through in various contexts, but specially in the fashion and art industries. Such marginalized groups include those excluded due to race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, language, and/or immigration status.
Through this program, and to ease the effects that the pandemic has had on young designers, APOC Store hopes to break down the financial and systemic barriers to entering the industry and starting new brands and practices. Each of the five selected designers or artists will receive the following:
→ £1.000,- grant (each) to support the development and production of their work.
→ 6-month mentorship program consisting of bi-weekly sessions with the APOC Team and designers/artists from the community.
→ The opportunity to sell their work at apoc-store.com.
APOC Grants is now open for applications, so if you are in any of the aforementioned situations and want to pursue your dreams in the fashion or creative industry, make sure to follow the steps mentioned below. This is your chance of succeeding and pursuing your dreams with the enormous help that APOC will grant you with if you get selected.
You have the chance of being among one of the winners, and all you have to do is follow the steps that you will find in this link.
Good luck to all the applicants! We hope to see you and your creations being featured in APOC Store, and more importantly, we cannot wait to see your success!
