The International Collaboration Grants (ICG) is a £1m programme of grants now available to support UK arts and culture organisations connect and collaborate with their international peers and is designed to support artists to make and develop creative artwork, deepening existing partnerships in a creative space and to find innovative ways of working. This grant programme has been designed to support artists to make and develop creative artwork, and to encourage new international partnerships and innovative ways of collaborating. 

The second round of ICG was launched on 31 January 2024 and will close for applications on the 30 April 2024.

Grants of between £25,000 and £75,000 are available to UK and organisations from the list of eligible countries/territories (Colombia is included). 

Projects can address any subject, theme or outcome, but they must be an Arts or Culture project.  

The organisers are looking for applications that demonstrate genuine international collaboration, an explicit benefit to individual artists and international partners. The programme is designed to support artists to make and develop creative artwork with their international peers and demonstrate clear benefits to individual artists and international collaborators to create new arts projects.

The grants are open to arts and culture organisations, and higher education and research organisations, with an arts and culture focus. While the funds are designed to benefit the artistic community, due to financial regulations the organisers can only offer them to legally registered organisations and collectives (including consortia, community-based and artist-led), and not individual artists, sole traders or freelancers. All collaborator organisations must have a registered bank account and all necessary registrations according to local legislation.

Although applications must be completed through organisations, the grants are designed to benefit the artistic community. Therefore, projects that show clear benefits to artists and individual practitioners will be prioritised. 

The organisers anticipate successful projects will start from September 2024 and run for one year, until September 2025. We appreciate some projects may have dates that fall outside this period and we can offer some flexibility. In these instances, please contact the International Collaboration Grants team before applying.

Deadline: Tuesday 30 April 2024 23.59 GMT (18:59 Colombian time)
