The National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC) has launched its 2026\u2013’27 Annual Project Funding Call, inviting creatives and organisations across the country to apply for grants of up to R350 000 per project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funding call, which opened on Sunday 2 February, covers seven arts disciplines: craft, dance, literature, music, theatre and musical theatre, visual arts, and multidisciplinary projects. Applications must close by Thursday 13 March at 23:59, with successful applicants to be notified on Thursday 29 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on social impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Projects are expected to address at least two of six critical focus areas, including social cohesion and nation building, support for marginalised and indigenous arts, addressing social ills, supporting vulnerable groups, promoting new works and digital arts, and building capacity in arts entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is open to individual arts practitioners, registered arts organisations, and community art centres. However, each applicant \u2014 whether an individual or organisation \u2014 may submit only one application for consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
