Arts Network Asia (ANA) invites artists, cultural workers, arts activists, and arts communities in Asia to apply for the ANA 2012 Grants scheme.
ANA supports projects that are carried out by Asian artists, residing in Asia; projects that are to be initiated and implemented in Asia, engaging with Asian artists and arts communities; and projects that maintain a focus on Southeast Asia. ANA will consider projects that encourage provocative exchanges and collaborations between and among various cultures and communities within Asia. ANA is interested in the contemporary experience of Asia including its relationship with traditions. Hence, this includes urban expressions, contemporary arts, contemporary arts and its relationship to traditional arts as well as the encounters between traditional arts. ANA promotes collaborations and exchanges with diverse cultures across borders in Asia and would look into the potential of local-regional-global complementation.
ANA includes the following as its criteria for selection:
- Projects that focus on collaborations and exchange within Asia
- Projects in multiple disciplines (e.g. performing arts, visual arts, film/video/new media, literature, critical discourse, arts management)
- Independent and process-oriented arts projects, rather than product-orientated projects
- Continuity and sustainability of projects
- Artistic merit of the project and its positive impact on larger communities
- Projects that empower and capacity build the arts communities in Asia
- Visibility of the project e.g. physical events, project website,
- Presence of other sources of funding
