The music grant of the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture supports music production, performances, collaborations, album recordings, music-related podcasts, and festivals. This program offers annual grants of up to USD 25,000 for individuals and teams, and up to $35,000 for collectives and institutions. The grant supports music production, performances, collaborations, album recordings, music-related podcasts, and festivals.
Eligibility to apply extends to individuals from Arab countries, regardless of their place of residence, citizenship, or ethnic and national identification. Local, regional, and international institutions and organizations with projects related to arts and culture from the Arab region are also welcome to apply.
The AFAC grants are intended for project production, including the research and development phases. They may cover project-related expenses such as materials, space or equipment rentals, and fees for artistic and technical labor and collaboration. An artist or institutional fee of not more than 30% of the total grant amount is also an allowable expense.
