02 Activities

What the charity does

HQI FOUNDATION is dedicated to supporting emerging visual, performance and musical artists who are being priced out of the opportunity to build sustainable arts careers in our capital, due to excessively high costs of living, and a failure of creative industries to provide supportive networks for its creatives, by providing supportive and enriching community and studio residencies.
