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
CCF will award ten grants of 10,000 USD for projects that demonstrate the use of arts and culture to catalyse change. The Art for Change theme invites creatives and cultural organizations to explore the transformative power of art in shaping the Caribbean. They 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.
Call 3.2: Caribbean Collaboration
CCF will award ten grants of 25,000 USD for projects that reflect or catalyse intra-regional cooperation and the promotion of arts across linguistic and geographic boundaries within the Caribbean and its Diasporas. Applicants must be working with a collaborator based in another Caribbean country or territory and this partner or partners must be meaningfully included in the design and implementation of the project. The project must be multi-country or multi-territory in scope and execution. Projects that reflect connections to the larger African Diaspora and the legacy of African and Indigenous culture in the Caribbean will also be considered.
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 organisations 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.
All projects, residences and fellowships must take place between 1 September 2025 and 28 February 2026.
