Halcyon Magazine x Creative Debut

Jaffar Aly was Selected as one of the September recipients for the Creative Debuts Black Artist’s Grant by Halcyon.

“My name is Jaffar Aly, a Lewisham brother. As an artist, I’ve managed to become a jack of most trades. Whether it be from the abstract expressionism I’ve acquired from being a Black body on the streets of London embellishing my anxiety and angst on plywood and M.D.F found on the roadside, to graphic designing, or writing a forthcoming publication titled ‘Four Wings and Chips’, this Black body from the blue borough can probably do most things if the mind is right.”

The Black Artists Grant is £2,000 each month which will be split between four different Black creatives in the UK, receiving £500 each.

The BAG is no-strings attached financial support to help the selected creatives in whatever they want – be that make new work, buy equipment or materials, travel, research, visit exhibitions or conferences, or to even just cover some life expenses. This is specifically for Black artists; not politically black, not POC or BAME. There is no deadline, no age limit, and the grant does not expect any outcomes or reporting.
