We accept applications from artists, artist groups, curators or interdisciplinary partnerships. Artists and groups should NOT be in full time education. Applications may be considered if artists are in part time education.

Artists applying for a grant must be a ncas member (see website for details on how to join) and for groups, at least one member of the group should be a ncas member.

Please note that our funds are limited and not all applications for grants will be successful.
