Fanak Fund

Le Fonds Fanak, la Ville de Martigues et l’Association pour l’Animation des Centres Sociaux et des Maisons de Quartiers de Martigues lancent une invitation aux artistes du monde arabophone et du Moyen-Orient dans le cadre des activités du Festival de Martigues, en vue de mettre en place un réseau international d’artistes animateurs d’ateliers artistiques pour enfants (6 à 12 ans), à travers la création d’œuvres ou de performances dans le cadre du Festival de Martigues «Les FADAS du MONDE», en juillet/août 2022.

Fanak Fund facilitates the mobility and creativity of artists and cultural operators living and working in Europe, the Arab-speaking world, and the wider Middle East. It currently has two open calls - one for its general mobility fund (aimed at individuals liv­ing and work­ing in the Euro-Arab-Mid­dle East ge­o­graph­i­cal zone), and another for its consolidation fund (aimed at organisations/teams in Mid­dle-East and Arab-speak­ing coun­tries).

Shararat Amal (‘Glimmer of Hope’) is a fund dedicated solely to individuals and organisations/collectives in exile / refugees in Lebanon. It intends to reactivate the professional activities of the applicants by either providing them with a support allowance, or a grant covering their professional needs.

Fanak Fund has opened a fund supporting artistic and cultural mobility in the Euro-Arab-speaking Middle East region, and from this region to the rest of the world. Artists and cultural operators living and working in Europe, the Arab-speaking world, and the Middle East can apply. Priority is given to mobility from the Arab speaking region to the Middle East and vice versa. Deadline: 31 August 2020.
