Visual Arts Grants for Arab Individuals

Visual Arts Grants for Arab Individuals

The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture – AFAC has announced a call for applications for its first cycle of grants programs in the category of "Visual Arts".

The Visual Arts grant supports painting, sculpting, photography, installations, audio-video arts, publications (artist book or other publications) and multi-media works of a contemporary and innovative nature.

The grant can support exhibitions, visual arts book publications as well as art production.

The program provides annual grants ranging from a few thousand U.S. dollars up to a maximum of fifty thousand U.S. dollars.

When the grant from AFAC exceeds ten thousand dollars yet only covers a portion of the project’s overall budget, the grantee is obliged to raise 70% of the remaining budget in order to be awarded the grant.

In the event that the grantee is unable to procure 70% of the remaining project budget within 90 days of receiving the grant, the latter will be canceled.

AFAC does not offer mobility grants. Travel costs can be covered by the AFAC grant only when they are part of the implementation of a project.
