## Description

The Gulbenkian Exhibitions Fund, an initiative from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation UK Branch, is open for applications. This fund aims to expand programming of international arts in the UK by supporting the showcasing of art by living artists from, or based in, Portugal and Portuguese-speaking African countries. Grants of up to £30,000 are available for non-profit institutions or organisations in the UK, including museums, festivals, galleries, and biennales. The funding can be used for various showcases such as solo or group exhibitions, presentations, tours, retrospectives, or site-specific projects, covering visual arts, moving image or film, and performance within an exhibition context. Projects must take place between June 2026 and August 2027. The fund seeks to strengthen the visibility of contemporary art from these regions in the UK cultural landscape, provide professional development opportunities for artists, and help UK organisations make new connections. Applications are open until April 27, 2026.
