Connections Through Culture grants support creative collaborations between Asia-Pacific and the UK. We support artists and cultural organisations working across all art forms to create new connections and collaborative projects.
Our Connections Through Culture grants help artists and cultural organisations to bring their ideas to life – with projects eligible at any stage of development and across artforms. The collaborative projects can include digital, face-to-face, and hybrid artistic projects.
Application deadline: 2 September 2024, 23.59 (GMT).
Bangladesh applications
Considering the recent situation in Bangladesh, we have provided an extension in the grant deadline for applications involving Bangladesh partners. If you are applying from Bangladesh or from the UK with a partner in Bangladesh, the revised deadline for applications is now 30 September, 23.59 (GMT) and please ensure that you submit your application via this link: Connections through Culture Grants 2024 – Bangladesh Extension.
Please note, the above link is only relevant for applications involving Bangladesh partners. For applications from Bangladesh, if you have already begun your application and need more time, please copy and transfer your responses into the new link before Monday 2 September as the old link will be deactivated on that date. If you have already submitted your application via the old link before the 2 September deadline, you do not need to resubmit your application.
