Subventions à la résonance - France et Australie

The French‑Australian Cultural Exchange Foundation (FACEF) has launched its 2026 Resonance Grants for Visual Arts and Performing Arts, a bilateral program designed to foster collaboration and artistic mobility between France and Australia. The grants support individual and group exhibitions, artistic initiatives, and institutional partnerships that promote public engagement and cross‑cultural dialogue. Applicants may be France‑based artists presenting in Australia or Australian artists presenting in France. Each project can receive up to AUD 20,000, with the program awarding five projects in 2026 and a total budget of AUD 60,000. The call opens on 17 August 2026 and closes on 25 September 2026 at 12:00 pm CEST / 8:00 pm AEST. Applications are free to submit. The program is open to professional artists and institutions, with no age or residency restrictions beyond the bilateral eligibility. The grants provide financial support, institutional partnership opportunities, and a platform for public exhibitions and performances. The French‑Australian Cultural Exchange Foundation, headquartered in Australia, administers the program in partnership with French cultural bodies.

workshops, mentorship, facilities, equipment

Projects must align with FACEF’s vision, mission and values. Applications for exhibitions and artistic projects will have to be submitted by eligible artistic organisations and not by the artists themselves. Projects must be affiliated with the visual arts and initiated by non-profit organisations such as contemporary art centres, museums, artist-run spaces, and project spaces, art education institutions, research centres, online curatorial or artistic projects. Applications for curatorial research trips will be submitted directly by the curators. Projects must demonstrate a clear link to a specific curatorial or exhibition context (an art centre, institution, or major event).
