The Advisory Committee on Arts Development today launched the 11th round of funding exercise under the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme.

The scheme provides funding support for innovative and impactful proposals that contribute to four objectives, namely capacity development of arts practitioners, arts groups, art forms or the arts sector, programme or content development, audience building and arts education.

Over 120 successful applications have received funding in the previous 10 rounds to implement large-scale and cross-year arts and cultural initiatives.

The scheme will continue to provide Springboard Grants and Project Grants.

Springboard Grants are matching grants that support arts groups in their overall development elevating them to a higher level of professional operation, while Project Grants are direct grants for large-scale and impactful projects.

Applications can be submitted online, by post or by hand. The application period will close at 6pm on January 13, 2022.

The results will be released around June 2022.
