ARTCRY IS NOW CLOSED
Artcry has been funding responsive political artwork for the past six years and we are now closing our doors.
Final grant
Artcry is closing. We’re funding one final grant for an artist to make political work in public space.
To celebrate and mark the ending this grant will be a major grant of £5,000 for an artist/s to make work exploring the erosion of the right to protest in the UK.
We have been overwhelmed with the quality of applications since we re-opened. This has not yet been awarded but we have more excellent applications than we can support so we are closing the fund to new applications at this stage.
Please sign up to our newsletter to find out about the grantee(s).
We support political work with a goal to make change happen.
