The funding will be allocated in line with the five key strategic pillars of the NAC reflected below:

• Social cohesion and nation-building
• Innovation, design and creation.
• Arts platforms, showcases, exhibitions and festivals.
• Strategic initiatives.
• Capacity building.

“Proposed projects should be of national significance and should have an impact on communities,” the NAC said. “The creation of new works, arts development, arts promotion, job creation, capacity building in arts entrepreneurship and facilitation of access to the arts will be taken into consideration. Furthermore, proposals that promote environmental sustainability, nation-building and social cohesion and have a strong community base will be preferable.

“Consideration will be given to organisations that have the capacity and proven track record to implement arts programmes within the required timelines. In addition, organisations should demonstrate the capacity to utilise the funding with integrity and compliance within the principles and practices of sound governance.”
