The Visiting Arts

Funding opportunities for art activities in the UK.

Every year 'Visiting Arts' is offering their The Project Awards. This progra mwas developed to advance the presentation of international art in the UK and to stimulate intercultural understanding.

The Project Awards exist to advance the presentation of international art in the UK and to stimulate intercultural understanding. They are looking to support projects that present the highest quality professional innovative artistic practice in the fields of applied arts, architecture, artists film, circus, dance, digital and new media arts, drama, installation, interdisciplinary arts, literature, live art, music, painting, performance, photography, physical theatre, print-making, puppetry and sculpture.

The financial support they can offer is modest and each application we consider should also demonstrate a high level of partnership funding. They can consider requests for awards of between £750 and £6000 and the average award granted is £3000. Please note that currently we are only able to support around one in five proposals we receive.

Visiting Arts works with geographic priorities and we seek to support art from countries and regions that are culturally underrepresented in the UK. For the year of 2006 they are looking for projects which present artists from outside of North and Western Europe, North America, Australasia and parts of Asia. For a list of our current regional priorities please see the criteria for assessment.
