We publish new grants almost every day and don’t always manage to translate each one. The full, up-to-date catalogue of grants is on the main version of the site.

ALL GRANTS

This page features current international grants for artists in 2026. We update the selection regularly: active programmes stay in the catalogue, while completed ones move automatically to the archive. This way, you can track only live deadlines and use the archive when preparing future applications.

Grants are curated manually, with a focus on transparent conditions, real support, and accessibility for a wide audience. The selection includes programs that provide funding for projects, research, and professional development.

The mark above the card shows when applications are open:
— A date alone (e.g. «25.08.2026») — the deadline for a one-off opportunity, there won’t be another cycle.
— «Deadline soon» — the grant is cyclical: the deadline is close, but the call will open again, check the article for the next date.
— «No deadline» — applications are open continuously, with no fixed date.
— A frequency, e.g. «3 cycles/year» — the grant repeats several times a year, exact dates are in the article text.
Plan ahead so you’re not preparing materials at the last moment.

Yes, the platform publishes international grants open to artists from different countries. We prioritise programs with broad geographic eligibility, including artists from Eastern Europe and Russian-speaking communities. All programs are manually reviewed and verified.

Current grants are published and regularly updated on the platform. We collect not only individual grant opportunities but also add specialised resources and platforms where you can discover new opportunities. This allows you to use the site as a single tool for searching and analysing international grants.

The platform is oriented towards young and emerging artists who are starting to engage with international opportunities. We publish grants with clear conditions, select accessible programs, and highlight key requirements. The platform also includes resources for finding new grants.

The platform features grants for photographers, including support for documentary, artistic, and research-based photography. These programs may fund series production, long-term projects, and professional development, as well as provide resources for the realization and presentation of work.

Yes, the platform features international grants available not only to individual artists, but also to non-profit organisations (NGOs), collectives, and cultural initiatives. We also include programs that support different groups, including women, LGBTQ+ communities, and social initiatives.

ArtCurator is a non-profit project that helps artists for free

The curator reviews hundreds of listings every week so only real opportunities make it into this list — no spam, no expired links. This work runs on donations from people it has already helped.
