Arts, Culture & Environment - ANT funding applications deadline is around the corner

On the show today, we spoke to Jasper Walgrave – Head at Pro Helvetia. We were talking about their call for ANT funding applications for the period 2012-2013. This Ant Funding is made available through a renewed agreement with the Swiss Agency for Development & Cooperation (SDC) which, for the past 13 years, has supported the arts in the Southern African region. The funding is available for projects in dance, theatre, music and visual arts that provide increased public exposure of high quality contemporary work across national borders (e.g. presentation of a South African work in Zimbabwe). Priority countries are South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, but motivations for opportunities in other SADC countries will be considered. The deadline for receipt of applications is 4^th of February 2013. Decisions concerning the allocation of funding for this call will be released by the 15^th of February 2013. The remaining funding calls for 2012/13 will be made according to the following dates: 4^th Call. The call for funding will be made on 25^th of March 2013.
