Applications for the latest round of British Council’s Connections Through Culture (CTC) grants in Southeast Asia (SEA) are now open until Sept. 5.

Initiated in 2019, CTC grants promote arts and cultural exchange between the United Kingdom and SEA to spark innovative ways for participants to collaborate through the arts.

The bilateral grants program supports cultural exchanges and collaborations between artists and arts organizations to nurture cooperation and long-lasting relationships between the United Kingdom and for 2021, six SEA countries: Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

Artists, arts professionals and art group/collective representatives from the six SEA countries and the United Kingdom are eligible to apply for the online grants valued up to £8,000. A new alumni scheme is also open for previous CTC UK-SEA grantees, with value up to £2,000.

Grantees may use the fund for projects, platforms and conversations between October 2021 to February 2022. Successful applicants will be announced end of September.
