We support responsive, political artworks in public space with decisions made on applications in a week.
We support political work with a goal to make change happen.
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.
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.
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).
NEW: We currently have ONE grant of £5,000 (including VAT) available to apply for currently for an exceptional application addressing one of our areas of focus.
