USD 50,000 Residencies and Fellowships
June 4, 2025 — The Caribbean Culture Fund (CCF) has announced a call for proposals for Residencies and Fellowships. CCF is offering ten grants of USD 5,000 each to support short-term residencies that support creative and cultural organizations in the Caribbean to invite creatives from other countries.
Cultural institutions and/or institutions with residential capacity located within the Caribbean are eligible to apply, including countries neighboring the Caribbean Sea and Latin American cities with strong Caribbean historical connections. The call aims to foster creative exchange, collaboration, and innovation among artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
Priority will be given to established residency programs and cultural events that promote the participation of Caribbean creatives from different linguistic groups. Funding may be used to cover airfare, accommodation, artist stipends, and interpretation services.
Selected creatives must participate in at least one public event during their residency and one virtual event co-hosted by the CCF. Residencies may last between one and six weeks, depending on the proposal and budget.
“Our residencies and fellowships programme is designed to build stronger networks across the Caribbean’s rich cultural landscape,” said the CCF Executive Director, Kellie Magnus. “We want to change the idea that an opportunity for immersion means leaving the region. There are incredible opportunities within each of our countries from which artists from other parts of the region can benefit.”
Applications must include an institutional profile, a detailed description of the residency program, a budget breakdown, and a plan for artist selection, community engagement, and evaluation. Further details are available in the Caribbean Culture Fund Residencies and Fellowships Terms of Reference.
Submissions will be accepted via the CCF Submittable platform from May 15 to June 15, 2025.
