Artcry support responsive, political artworks in public space with decisions made on applications in a week.
The work is time-critical
The reason that ARTCRY exists is to encourage artists to make work which responds to social/political events happening now by giving a decision on applications within seven days.
Any work funded by us must require an immediate start in order to make it’s point.
All work must happen for free, in public space in the UK.
We are looking to support artistic interventions in public space. Our focus is on a UK audience.
Where and how you choose to put your work on needs to clearly connect with the people you want it to reach.
Grant amounts
At ARTCRY we raise all the money we grant out, we don’t have a large pot. So we want to see applications which are tightly focused around need.
You can apply for any amount of money. Do you need £50 to buy paint? £200 to hire a van? We want you to apply for what you need.
Our standard maximum grant amount is up to £2,500 (including VAT).
