Tay Meng Art & Mind Residency Programme 2022
MAELab’s Tay Meng Art & Mind Residency Programme recognises the integration of arts and mental health as an emerging yet fast establishing the interdisciplinary field. Opening avenues for discussion and expanding understanding of the various intersections of arts and mental health, this grant empowers both professionals, students, artists, and/or academics to delve into new pilot projects. Ultimately, MAELab hopes to bring translational research into the community. This year’s grant looks to award three professional and two student category recipients.
This year’s MAELab Art & Mind Grant Call has been expanded with a generous donation by Dr Tay Miah Hiang in honour of Mr Tay Meng. Three recipients will be awarded in the name of the Tay Meng Art & Mind Residency Programme.
