Artist Ally: Project Fund
All Information
Supports independent visual artists who need funding to complete a specific creative project. Suitable projects include an illustrated book, comic series, animation, portfolio piece or similar drawing-led work. The grant is intended to help artists move forward with projects delayed by financial barriers. The grant is paid in two parts, with a light follow-up check-in. Applicants from Nigeria may apply because the programme states that it is open internationally.
