Purpose and program areas
Arts Collaboratory is a programme for the support of visual artist-led initiatives in Africa, Asia and
Latin America, and for exchange between these and visual arts organisations in the Netherlands. It
provides financial support, facilitates knowledge sharing, and promotes networking and artistic
exchange.
Funding sources
Arts Collaboratory was established in January 2007 by Hivos and the DOEN Foundation, and is
carried out in cooperation with the Mondriaan Fund. These three Dutch organisations have joined
forces (pooling resources, knowledge and networks) in Arts Collaboratory to achieve greater
effectiveness, efficiency and synergies.
Eligible countries
Africa, Asia and Latin America
Who can receive a grant

Organizations should:
o Be led by artists
o Organize visual arts activities on a local, regional or international scale, offering
alternatives to commercialized and closed art circuits around the globe
o Be independent and flexible
o Work from artistic practice

organization - is required.
