Citrus Foundation to Award $1k Grants to Wellington Artists
Citrus is a dating app startup based in Wellington. Today we’re announcing the launch of the Citrus Foundation - a program to give away multiple $1,000 grants to local artists to produce interactive art experiences around Wellington.
• The program seeks to
inspire authentic and connected experiences for the people
of Wellington
• Grantees will be selected monthly on an
ongoing basis
• Project proposals will be chosen based
on the novelty of the concept and degree of joyful
immersion
• “Citrus itself began as an art project
to see how people adapt their dating style when their
partner has the ability to leave them a ‘review’
afterwards. Facilitating more art and innovation in
Wellington is a natural move for us.” - Nathaniel
Sokoll-Ward, CEO of Citrus
