The Supporting Act Foundation is as committed as ever to its mission of creating opportunities for underrepresented voices in the arts, working to empower emerging artists and arts-focused nonprofits and enabling them to meet their creative potential.
There are two streams:
- 10 Impact Grants of 50,000 EUR, awarded over two years, to support arts-focused nonprofits
- 10 Artist Grants of 10,000 EUR for emerging artists from underrepresented communities
Beyond funding, grantees join the Grantee Network, with access to online events and workshops, peer exchange, and promotion across our communication channels.
The Grants are for those based in Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal or the United Kingdom (or working with a fiscal host in one of these countries in the case of the Impact Grant).
Artists must self-identify as an emerging artist and be in the early stages of their career, with 2 to 10 years of professional experience actively pursuing artistic work as the main focus of their career.
Applicants must identify as belonging to one or more groups that are underrepresented or face systemic barriers in their country’s creative and cultural industries.
