This third call expands eligibility to projects from Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Suriname, and in recognition of the severe challenges currently facing the creative sector, Haiti is also included for a second time.
Funding will be awarded under three themes:
- Art for Change: Ten grants of USD 10,000 each for projects using the arts to drive social reflection and change.
- Caribbean Collaboration: Ten grants of USD 25,000 each for projects promoting intra-Caribbean cooperation and artistic exchange.
The third theme is for grants for short-term creative residences and fellowships, which are open to institutions across the entire Caribbean. Ten grants of USD 5,000 each to support short-term artistic residencies within the region.
“Our residencies and fellowships programme is designed to build stronger networks across the Caribbean’s rich cultural landscape,” said the CCF Executive Director. “By supporting artistic exchange, we aim to deepen collaboration across language and national boundaries, and strengthen the region’s creative sectors.”
Eligible disciplines include visual arts, performing arts, festival arts, film, literary arts, interdisciplinary forms, architecture, and design.
“With this third call, we are continuing to work our way around the region to learn the priorities of creatives and cultural institutions from the countries and sectors we serve. With our new grants for residencies and fellowships, we are expanding our support for Caribbean collaboration, creating more opportunities for reflecting on our shared history and cultural expression,” shared CCF Executive Director, Kellie Magnus.
Applicants are encouraged to submit clear, feasible proposals that thoughtfully connect objectives and budgets, and to consider implementation challenges.
