What Art Would You Create With $100,000?

The O’Shaughnessy Fellowship program was launched in 2023 with a singular purpose: to support the ambitious individuals striving to build a better future for all.

The terms are simple:

One year and $100,000 to work on anything you want.

The O’Shaughnessy Grants program, also launched in 2023, provides applicants with the chance of $5,000 to do the same.

This year, our 12 Fellows and 5 Grantees have surpassed all expectations in a wide range of domains.

Kiubon Kokko has been creating a feature documentary about his father's seven-hour swim from China to Hong Kong in 1973 in search of a better future.

Nat & Martha Sharpe studied and created documentary films about alternative childhood education schools.

Tony Morley has been working on research, communication, and innovation in the field of progress studies.

Lokesh Chaddha (Justh) has been creating original Hindi songs with poetic lyricism as their backbone.

And so, without further ado…

Let’s meet some of the O’Shaughnessy Fellows and Grantees of 2023 who are creating the next generation of art & media.
