Prince Claus Fund Open Call for 2012.

PRINCE CLAUS FUND
In collaboration with ARTS NETWORK ASIA (ANA)
Announces the Open Call for Grant Applications

Prince Claus Fund and Arts Network Asia (ANA) invite applications to the first Prince Claus Fund Open Call for 2012.

For the past 15 years, one of the core activities of the Prince Claus Fund was to fund cultural initiatives through open calls for project proposals in the field of culture and development.

The Prince Claus Fund firmly believes that culture is a basic need and actively seeks innovative, quality cultural projects in spaces where resources and opportunities for cultural expression, creative production and research are limited and/or threatened.

In addition to being a financial partner, the Prince Claus Fund contributes its expertise and its extensive network to its collaborations and grants recipients.

As of 2012, the Prince Claus Fund will issue two targeted calls to support cultural initiatives in all artistic disciplines. One annual call will target a specific region or number of countries. The second call will be thematic.

ANA collaborates with the Prince Claus Fund to process and consider the applications for the first Open Call for 2012. ANA will focus on applications from Cambodia, East Timor, Nepal, Laos, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Vietnam, The Philippines, Thailand and Mongolia.
