€7,000 Grant from Culture Resource: "Wijhat" for Supporting Artists from the Arab region

• Applicants must be from an Arab country
  (regardless of ethnic affiliation and citizenship status). They may reside in the Arab region or abroad.
• The country of departure or arrival for an intended travel must be in the Arab region.
  The grant is available for individuals as well as for groups (bands, folk troupes, associations, work teams, theatre/dance companies, etc — see the section on applying as a group).
• The grant targets:
  Artists of all disciplines: live arts, visual arts, literature, music, etc.
  Cultural actors, whether working independently or as members or staff of cultural initiatives or organizations.
  Examples of potential grantees: playwrights and theater directors, musicians, creative writers, cultural managers, cultural researchers, curators, etc.
• The host may not apply on behalf of the invitee. Every artist/group must submit their own application along with the required supporting documents. The host may help an artist/group fill out the application. However, the form itself must be completed by the artist/group, express their point of view and be submitted by them as well.
• Applications from individuals under 18 years old will be accepted on the condition that the application is accompanied by a written letter of consent from a parent or guardian.
• Recipients of a Wijhat grant may not apply again for the mobility grant until at least 16 months (the equivalent of four rounds) have passed since receiving a grant. This period is calculated from the date on which that grant was announced.
• Recipients of any other type of grant from Culture Resource (apart from another mobility grant) may still apply for a grant from the Wijhat program.

Required Documents:

• An official invitation from a partner or host in the country of destination (Note: If there is no formal invitation, the application can still be considered on the condition that the applicant provides proof of acceptance, in principle, as a participant in the intended activity.)
• Photocopy of passport.
• A detailed budget for the travel (the form for this purpose comes with the online application form).
• The program of the activity the applicant intends to participate in (i.e., the festival program, the conference schedule, etc.), if the program is available at the time of application.
• A detailed CV.
• A list of previous works. If these are written works or photographs, samples can be sent in the following formats: a single PDF, Word or Zipped file (not exceeding 4 MB) or 4 JPEG files (not exceeding 1 MB per file). If the previous works are audio or audiovisual recordings, list the website links where these works can be accessed.

About Culture Resource:

Founded in 2004, Culture Resource (Al Mawred Al Thaqafy) is a regional, non-profit organization that seeks to support artistic creativity in the Arab region and to encourage cultural exchange between intellectuals and artists within this region and abroad. The work of Culture Resource emanates from a deep appreciation of the renewable value of Arab cultural heritage, in all its ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity, and from a faith in the importance of generating a new Arab spirit of creativity as a key to liberating the imagination and stimulating progress. Culture Resource also believes that artistic and literary activities are a social necessity which demands the moral and material support on the part of all effective forces in society.
