ADVANCING ROMA PROGRAM

Call for Proposals: Advancing Roma Inclusion Through Arts & Culture

Date:

June 16, 2011

The Open Society Arts and Culture Program works at the nexus of arts, culture, human rights, and social advocacy. Through its grant program, the program strives to encourage broad-based critical reflection and catalyze social action in parts of the world where open societies are absent or weak, and where the cultural rights of minority groups are endangered.

The aim of this call for proposals is to advance the social inclusion of Roma by supporting initiatives that strengthen alternative and autonomous cultural infrastructures and innovative arts initiatives, raise professional standards in the art world in the Arts and Culture Program’s regions of activity, and promote reform in the arena of cultural policy.
