What are Quick Response Grants?
Quick Response Grants aim to support small arts or cultural projects that cannot be funded by other means because of their nature or timing. For example, you may wish to attend a workshop or complete a project within a certain time frame and cannot access appropriate funding through any other means.
Please note that Quick Response grants are competitive, and as part of your application you will need to detail why your project cannot be funded through other means.
This type of grant would also suit individual professional development.
