The Asian Cultural Council (ACC) is officially seeking applicants for its 2027 Global Grant Cycle.
Designed for artists, arts professionals, scholars, and organizations, ACC fellowships provide the funding, freedom, and time to pursue open-ended research rather than final productions. This unique focus on process encourages grantees to foster deep international dialogue, build lasting relationships, and advance mutual understanding between the United States and Asia.
To date, ACC has supported approximately 6,000 transformative exchanges across 16 disciplines and 26 countries and regions. For those ready to expand their research, collaborate globally, and join a vibrant international network of alumni, submit an application this fall.
