CCF Opens Funding Call For Caribbean Art
The Caribbean Culture Fund [CCF] has launched its fourth call for proposals, inviting artists and cultural organisations — including those in Bermuda — to apply for project funding, with ten grants of $10,000 and four grants of $25,000 available.
A spokesperson said, “The Caribbean Culture Fund [CCF] has launched its fourth call for proposals, inviting individual artists, collectives, cultural organisations, and creative companies to apply for funding to support projects across the Caribbean. Applications open on January 30, 2026, and must be submitted by March 1, 2026, via the Submittable platform, accessed through the CCF website, caribbeanculturefund.org.
“This fourth call covers two themes, reflecting CCF’s continued commitment to cultural expression for social engagement, inclusion, and regional connection.
“CCF will award ten grants of USD 10,000 to projects that demonstrate how arts and culture can catalyse reflection, dialogue, education, and positive change. The theme encourages creatives to imagine, critique, and refocus the Caribbean through innovative artistic practices that give voice to community aspirations, challenges, and shared histories.
“This call is open to applicants based in Caribbean countries and territories not covered in CCF’s first three calls, and are: Anguilla, Aruba, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Caribbean Netherlands, French Guiana, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Sint Maarten, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands.
“In addition, CCF will award four grants of USD 25,000 to projects that reflect or actively foster intra-Caribbean collaboration across linguistic and geographic boundaries. Applicants must partner with at least one collaborator based in another Caribbean country or territory, with partners meaningfully involved in both project design and implementation.
“Projects engaging with the wider African Diaspora and the legacies of African and Indigenous cultures in the Caribbean are also encouraged.
“Applications are welcome across all artistic genres; including visual and performing arts, music, literature and publishing, film and multimedia, photography, architecture, design, radio, television, libraries and archives, heritage, and interdisciplinary or mixed-genre practices.
“Applicants are encouraged to submit clear, feasible proposals that demonstrate strong alignment between objectives, activities, and budgets, and that take implementation constraints into account. Participation in a CCF Orientation Session is strongly recommended before applying. These sessions will be announced via social media and the website.
“Once approved, all funded projects must be implemented between June and November 2026, with institutions demonstrating the capacity to complete activities and reporting within this period.
“Applications must be submitted online at caribbeanculturefund.submittable.com/submit. Proposals sent directly to CCF will not be considered. For full details on eligibility, criteria, and application requirements, or for additional information, applicants are encouraged to visit caribbeanculturefund.org or contact grants@caribbeanculturefund.org.”
