The Resonance Grants – Performing Arts programme, run by the French Australian Cultural Exchange Foundation (FACEF), connects mid‑scale performing‑arts institutions and professionals in France (including overseas territories) and Australia. For the 2026 edition, applications open on 17 August 2026 and close on 25 September 2026 (12:00 pm CEST / 8:00 pm AEST). Eligible applicants are not‑for‑profit legal entities – such as theatre, dance, music companies, ensembles, public institutions, festivals, artist collectives or training institutions – that are based in either France or Australia and that propose a collaborative project with a partner in the other country. Individual practitioners are not eligible. Projects may include creative research, development, presentation, residencies, workshops, community engagement or professional development, and must be carried out within 18 months after notification. Grants provide up to AUD 20,000 per project to cover performer fees, production costs, travel, accommodation, venue hire, research, and public‑program expenses. Applications are submitted online via an application form that becomes available on 17 August 2026. All materials must be in English and include a project description, budget, timeline, organisational details, a partner’s letter of commitment and supporting visual material. The grant does not cover overhead, debt repayment or already‑funded costs.
