Criteria
The work is time-critical
The reason that ARTCRY exists is to encourage artists to make work which responds to social/political events happening now by giving a decision on applications within seven days.
Any work funded by us must require an immediate start which would count out more traditional funding options.
All work must be presented for free in the public realm
We are looking to support artistic public space interventions. This could be on the streets, in a public space or digitally. This does not mean it only has to be shown in this context, but that is the part we are interested in funding.
