Deadline: 10 May 2018
The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) is seeking applications for its 2018 Development grants programme in the category of visual arts.
After careful consideration and consultation with partners, the Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) has reimagined the ACT Development Programme to support discipline-specific funding cycles. The first half of 2018 will see the funding of visual arts projects and in the second half of the year dance projects will be funded. Established artists or organisations are eligible for one of three grants worth R80 000. Mid-level and emerging artists or organisations are eligible for one of five grants of R30 000.
ACT program manager Jessica Glendinning says “Although they are limiting each call for grant applications to one discipline, they don’t want this to be seen as restrictive. The ACT program encourages applications for interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary work with visual arts as a core component. The program is interested in the ways that new media and new forms of visual arts are developing, as well as traditional arts”.
