Introduction
To support the development of open access toolkits, curricula, or models that enhance capacity and knowledge circulation across the arts and culture sectors. To support high-level research into elements of arts and culture and subsequent knowledge sharing within the community. This grant promotes equitable access to cultural knowledge and focuses on growth and knowledge building within the arts and culture sectors.
Scope
The Creative Infrastructure Grant is designed to provide support for the development and presentation of a work by any category of creative worker. Examples of creative infrastructure projects include but are not limited to: curriculum development for creative training, digital libraries or resources, frameworks for cooperative businesses or rights management, and translation of research into toolkits or templates. The recipient is awarded $5,000 in direct funding to complete the proposed project. In addition, this grant includes the use of the Mind’s Eye Centre if needed for meetings, exhibitions, workshops, etc., without additional costs for venue and staffing. Creative workers, therefore, have access to professional facilities without incurring venue costs. The grantee’s biography and their project will be featured across CNCF media platforms to help support visibility for the work and the creative professionals involved. CNCF may digitally host the project or link to it as agreed. This grant represents an investment in knowledge building, equitable access, and talent development in the Cayman Islands
