Deadline: January 15, 2019
Applications are open for the Arts Network Asia (ANA) Project Grants 2019. ANA supports projects that are initiated and implemented in Asia, in collaboration with Asian artists residing in Asia.
These projects should engage with Asian arts, cultural, media or activist communities; and in particular projects that maintain a focus on Southeast Asia will be supported. ANA will consider projects that encourage progressive exchanges and collaborations between and among various cultures and communities within Asia.
ANA will also emphasise projects by the peer communities that multiply effects and form a sustainable network to encourage participation from a larger community of artists, cultural workers and arts organisations. ANA promotes collaborations and exchanges with diverse cultures across borders in Asia and would look into the potential of local-regional-global complementation.
