The Swiss Cooperation Office in Tajikistan, within the framework of its “Art and Culture of Central Asia” program, announces a competition for two types of grants.

Institutional Support Grants support the institutional development and core activities of competent arts and cultural institutions that provide open spaces where creative individuals can create works of art that reflect social issues and the diversity of cultural expressions, opinions and voices.

Project support grants are provided to government and non-government cultural organizations, individual artists, and initiative groups to implement short-term projects in various fields of art and culture that expand public access to works of art that reflect socio-economic realities.

One applicant may submit only one proposal; recipients of project or institutional support are excluded from other types of grants.

The application deadline for the national competition is November 3, 5:00 p.m.

More detailed information about the conditions and application procedure is here.
