Grant Opportunities

The Asian Cultural Council (ACC) announces its 2027 Fellowship and Grant Cycle, opening applications from October 1 to November 10 2026. The cycle offers four distinct programs: the New York Fellowship (six‑month residency in the U.S.), the Individual Fellowship (1–6 months of immersive cultural exchange), the Graduate Fellowship (one academic year for graduate students), and the Organization Grant (up to six months of cultural exchange for arts organizations). Grants range from $15,000 to $50,000 USD, depending on the program, and cover travel, accommodation, daily expenses, visa support, health insurance, and cultural immersion activities. Applicants must be artists, scholars, or arts professionals (or organizations) with at least five years of experience (graduate students exempt), be a citizen or legal permanent resident of an ACC‑eligible country, be at least 21 years old, and cannot pursue paid work or produce a specific work during the fellowship. The application is submitted through ACC’s GoApply portal, with a free application fee. The grant period runs from August 1 2027 to December 31 2028, and selected fellows will join ACC’s global alumni network. The call is recurring, with a fixed deadline, and is open to international applicants worldwide.
