Hoban Foundation

The Hoban Foundation is a private philanthropic organization dedicated to fostering innovation at the intersection of art and technology. Established with the belief that emerging tools can expand the vocabulary of creative expression, the Foundation supports artists who engage critically and imaginatively with artificial intelligence. Its flagship initiative, the Next Art Ai Award, reflects a commitment to recognizing work that challenges conventional aesthetics and explores the philosophical implications of machine intelligence. By providing unrestricted grants and a platform for international visibility, the Foundation aims to catalyze new forms of artistic practice without imposing rigid expectations. The Foundation operates globally, welcoming applications from artists at any career stage who demonstrate a rigorous and thoughtful approach to AI as a medium.
