Culture Resource (Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafy) gives Wijhat travel grants of up to 7,000 euros to artists and cultural workers from Arab countries, for residencies, festivals, fairs, forums and workshops within the Arab region or abroad. Applications are open all year; the first 2027 round closes on 16 January 2027 at 16:00 Beirut time.
Who can apply
Nationality
Applicants must be from an Arab country, whatever their ethnic background or citizenship status, and may live in the Arab region or abroad. Tunisia is an Arab country, so Tunisian artists and cultural workers qualify.
Travel
The trip must start or end in the Arab region, and the activity must take place after the results of the round you apply to.
Who can apply
Artists of all disciplines and cultural workers, as individuals or groups. Under-18s need a parent's or guardian's written consent. A past Wijhat grantee must wait 16 months before applying again.
