Applications open for the 12th annual Transit residency support program

The Deputy Ministry of Culture has announced the opening of applications for the 12th annual Transit program, which supports contemporary artists and professionals participating in overseas residencies. The deadline for submitting applications is July 21. The program aims to foster international mobility, networking, and creative collaboration through research, workshops, and exhibitions. Compared to the 2025 cycle, three key changes have been introduced to improve transparency and align with the 'Culture III (2026-2030)' funding framework. These changes include a new formal definition of 'Residency Program,' the allowance for beneficiaries to apply for the 'Support of Cultural Creators' scheme, and the inclusion of technical equipment purchase as an eligible expense. Full details and terms are available on the Deputy Ministry’s website. This initiative remains a primary mechanism for funding international professional development in the contemporary arts sector.
