The crisis caused by the coronavirus, which has a global reach, has made it difficult and often impossible for artists in Croatia to work regularly. In addition to the global pandemic, Croatia was hit by two devastating series of powerful earthquakes that created material damage, damaged living and working spaces, work equipment and works of art.

 

 

The Institute for Contemporary Art from Zagreb, with the support of the Heathocte Art Foundation / FACE Croatia program and the Trust for Mutual Understanding from New York, raised funds intended to help Croatian artists who are prevented from regular work, have damaged living or working space,  due to special circumstances their usual incomes are hindered or disabled.

 

Grants are intended to help with material needs, and no artistic criteria are required.

All grants will be awarded in equal amounts.

Fine artists from all over Croatia can apply, and priority will be given to artists from earthquake-affected areas.

The selection of grants will be decided by a three-member commission.

The call for applications opens on June 26, 2021,

and remains open until July 15, 2021.
