Funding schemes may exist even if they are not ne- cessary online or publicly shared.

RESOURCES 4. Contact embassies and consulates. They may run their own support schemes and/or provide advice for specific projects.

5. Contact festivals/event promoters directly. They may provide assistance with funding and/or travel logistics.

6. Contact art centres and residencies direc- tly. Some may offer support with funding research. See list below for art centres that have been cited by artists as funding provi- ders in the past. Also listed are art centres that belong to international networks (Triangle Network, Arts Collaboratory) that may provide funding/other forms of support (administrative for instance) for projects and residencies.

7. Check billboards at local art centres. Fun- ding opportunities are often advertised lo- cally through art hubs. See the list below.
