PRINCE CLAUS FUND BUILDING BEYOND CYCLE 5 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 13 August 2025 at 17.00 Amsterdam time. 

LOCATION: Africa

Building Beyond brings together 9 mid-career creatives (± 7-15 years of relevant professional experience) working across diverse mediums, approaches, and interpretations of the overarching theme. Supported by 3 Senior Fellows, this cohort will come together over the course of 9 months to support each participant in their own individual practice and how to activate it in their context and to facilitate conversation and exchange between the cohort, its growing network, and relevant external practitioners.

ELIGIBILITY:

With this open call we invite applications from individual, mid-career artists and cultural practitioners who:

Are from, live and work in our eligible countries on the African continent. *Please note that that is an expanded list from previous years, so if you have not been eligible before, please check if you are eligible now.  

Are artists, cultural practitioners, or creatives whose individual practice relates to architecture, design, spatial practice, public space, and urban communities. When referring to artists and cultural practitioners we mean people who have an individual artistic practice. We hold a broad definition of art and culture and appreciate interdisciplinary practices. Individuals who are arts managers, facilitators, academic researchers or others, without an individual artistic practice, do not fall under this category, and as such are not eligible to apply.  

Have ±7-15 years of relevant professional experience. The Fellows Award is meant only for individual artists who, regardless of age, meet the professional experience criteria, counting from the date they started engaging in a professional artistic practice to the date of submitting their application.

Are able to communicate in English to keep in line with the communication in the Fellows award programme.  

BENEFIT:

Each participant receives an Award of €10,000 and guidance from the Senior Fellows Fellows to work on the concept for a body of work that is outlined in their application. While the grant is not limited to a strict project plan or budget, the participant’s proposed project will be used as a baseline for the programme and will orient its content.
