This unique program offers the selected artist the chance to have the proposal commissioned, and the selected artwork will be installed at Liwan Design Studios and Labs.

Submitted proposals must meet the outlined criteria, artists should possess strong skills to execute their proposed projects, and support from a mentor is permissible to ensure successful completion.
Proposals can include sculptures, installations, or mixed media works, and all artworks must be fabricated locally. Students may submit proposals
