Artists’ international development fund

This is our quick-and-dirty guide to the Artists' international development fund, a strategic grant funding programme from Arts Council England and the British Council.

These notes have been compiled by Artquest in response to the official guidance notes from Arts Council England in an attempt to make them more understandable for artists.  We do not represent, work for, or assess applications for Arts Council England; our guidance is based on our working experience of being artists, applying for grants from Arts Council England and working on other publicly funded projects.  If you are in any doubt about what you can apply for, contact Arts Council England on 0845 300 6200 or by emailing enquiries@artscouncil.org.uk

We recommend you use our guidance alongside the official documents from Arts Council England.
