Short Description
The Caribbean Culture Fund (CCF) has announced its third call for proposals. This call is divided into two themes and a third call for residencies and fellowships. The CCF invites individuals, organisations, and institutions to submit their cultural and creative projects and applications are welcome in all art genres.
Call 3.1: Art for Change
The Art for Change theme invites creatives and cultural organizations to explore the transformative power of art in shaping the Caribbean we envision. We seek projects that give voice to the region’s aspirations, challenges, and triumphs, and that address the changes artists wish to see in their communities, nations, and the broader Caribbean.
This theme encourages artists to imagine, critique, and reimagine the Caribbean, using their work as a catalyst for social commentary, engagement, education, reflection, and positive change and new developments. We welcome proposals that showcase innovative and impactful art practices, from visual arts to performance, literature, and beyond, that contribute to a vibrant and inclusive Caribbean narrative.
CCF will award ten grants of USD 10,000 for projects that demonstrate the use of arts and culture to catalyze change.
Call 3.2: Caribbean Collaboration
This theme is for projects that reflect or catalyze intra-regional cooperation and the promotion of arts across linguistic and geographic boundaries within the Caribbean and its Diasporas. Projects should reflect connections between the Caribbean community. Applicants must be working with a collaborator based in another Caribbean country and the project must be regional in scope or execution. For example: bringing the work of creatives from many different countries to one or more countries. Projects that reflect connections to the larger African Diaspora and the legacy of African and Indigenous culture in the Caribbean will also be considered.
The CCF will award ten grants of USD 25,000 for projects that promote Caribbean Collaboration.
Call 3.3: Residencies and Fellowships
CCF will award ten grants of USD 5,000 to support short-term, intra-Caribbean residencies and fellowships. The CCF invites cultural institutions and organizations with residential capacity to submit proposals for artist residencies and fellowships. The CCF grant must cover all costs, including visa, travel,
accommodation, meals, and interpretation for up to a maximum of two artists from any Caribbean country or territory other than the one of the applicant.
The residencies should foster creative exchange, collaboration, and innovation across diverse artistic disciplines and cultural contexts. Through this call, the CCF seeks to create meaningful opportunities for artistic growth, facilitate connections between artists, institutions, and communities, and strengthen the cultural ecosystem of the Caribbean region.
Priority will be given to organizations that have hosted residencies in the past three years and that have preselected the artist(s) when applying. The residences and fellowships may be open to practitioners from any artistic discipline. Selected artists must be willing to participate in at least one public activity during the period and at least one virtual event to be hosted by the CCF.
