Breadline Africa to support Arts and Culture Trust
For the third year running, the Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) will be receiving support from Breadline Africa for South African arts festivals in the form of ACT | BLA Fringe Grants. The aim of these grants is to assist organisers of South African festivals to extend their programmes by providing support specifically to facilitate the participation of artists, performers and groups from peri-urban and rural areas. Festivals taking place between 01 April and 15 November 2010 are eligible to apply for support and successful applicants will be awarded grants up to a maximum of R50 000. At least 90% of the grant must be utilised to cover the costs of registration fees, venue/equipment hire, transport and accommodation of the designated groups. The remaining 10% may be utilised to cover the costs of administering the grant.
We are very please to be involved in this initiative, we look forward to seeing the new talent that will emerge and we are proud to be able to assist impoverished communities that are engaged in arts, culture and heritage to realise their full potential.
