Your project can find funding even beyond painting and sculpture. Some grants cover materials and printing, others fund a whole year of work on a project without receipts for every expense.

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.

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.
— A date with an «∞» sign (e.g. «10.09.2026 ∞») — the grant is cyclical and the date is known: this is the nearest call, another cycle follows after it.
— «Deadline soon» — the grant is cyclical: applications have just closed and the next date hasn’t been announced yet — check back in the article for updates.
— «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.
