Originally launched as part of the Sharjah Biennial in 2008, the Production Programme has become one of the Foundation's core initiatives and is announced biannually. The Programme offers artists resources and a platform for experimentation and the production of ambitious new projects. Previous SAF Production Programme grantees include Bani Abidi, CAMP, Sean Gullette, Mario Rizzi, and Lindsay Seers.
