The Braid Arts & Culture Fund sees the health of the art, culture and cultural heritage sector and its contributions to wider communities as a weaving of elements: our disciplines, our practitioners, and our audiences. Intertwining these strands leads to improved relationships, new work, increased audiences and greater influence.
The fund offers grants to innovative practitioners of art and culture projects in East Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda). This is a collaboration between the Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health (TICAH) and the Cultural Heritage for Inclusive Growth (#CultureGrows) program by the British Council.
The goal of the fund is to increase the value assigned to art and culture by supporting innovations of cultural and arts practices and/or spaces to widen and deepen connections among practitioners and the wider community.
In our first call for concepts, we are looking for institutions that directly support cultural practitioners in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
