The Asian Cultural Council (ACC) is now welcoming applications for its 2027 Global Grant Cycle.
These fellowships, available to artists, arts professionals, scholars, and organizations, offer resources and time for open-ended research instead of focusing on end products. This approach aims to enhance international dialogue, nurturing enduring connections and fostering mutual understanding between the United States and Asia.
To date, the ACC has facilitated approximately 6,000 impactful exchanges spanning 16 disciplines and 26 countries and regions. Those eager to broaden their research, engage in global collaboration, and become part of a dynamic international alumni network are encouraged to apply this fall.
