Deadline: 19-Nov-21
The Support Foundation for Civil Society is seeking applications for its Culture and Art Fund to support culture and arts institutions and/or non-governmental organizations operating in the field of culture and arts to strengthen their institutional capacities and implement their projects.
To support artists and cultural institutions that form the basis of intercultural interaction and communication and keep cultural life alive, medium and long-term measures need to be taken quickly and the measures taken need to be sustainable. While cities are being revived, all the actors of the culture and arts field are working on different ways to continue their production and sharing in spaces suitable for health measures, as mediators of social improvement. The continuity of artistic production and the interaction created through participatory culture and art projects will both provide different perspectives to make sense of the process they are going through in the coming period, and will keep the spirit of solidarity and hope they need for the coming days.
