Funded by Nedbank Arts Affinity, this Arts & Culture
Trust (ACT) programme is designed to enhance the continued development of arts
and culture in South Africa. In particular, the ACT Development Programme is

production and development of new South African work, professional development
and training for the youth.
Open for applications on an on-going basis, the ACT
Development Programme makes once-off grants up to a maximum of R50,000
available for disbursement. In support of the development of new South African
work, the development of arts professionals and projects involved in arts
training for the youth, individual artists, arts and culture organisations and
small creative businesses are invited to submit applications for funding.
To encourage growth and innovation within the arts and
culture sector, all expressions of art including, but not limited to, literature,
theatre, dance, craft, music, new media and visual art projects across South
Africa will be considered for support. The current funding cycle comes to a
close on September 30 2013, with the outcome available on November 13 2013.
