Overview
Fluxus Art Projects makes grants to arts organisations rather than to artists. Applications must be submitted by the organising institution or association and not by the artists themselves. Qualifying organisations are not-for-profit art centres, museums, cultural institutions, research centres, online projects and artists' publications. Sums allocated range from £1,000 to £10,000. It does not support 100% funding of projects. A grant must not exceed 50% of the expenses, but must also represent at least 5% of the project's total budget. You will need other funding in place. It will prioritise innovative practices and the production of new works. Its apply page says the next call for applications will be open between 27 October and 24 November 2026; confirm those dates before you rely on them.
