Description
The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture’s Training and Regional Events program supports workshops, archive and documentation platforms, residencies, symposiums, forums, and festivals connected to arts and culture in the Arab region. It spans multidisciplinary work, music, film, performing arts, visual arts, and literature, contributing to the sustainability of the region’s cultural scene.
Annual grants support individuals, teams, collectives, and institutions at any project stage, from research and development through early-stage and active production. Supported activities also include concerts, conferences, exhibitions, and podcasts addressing arts-related topics. Funding focuses on costs directly connected to implementing the proposed project, rather than establishing infrastructure or providing standalone mobility support.
