The Micro Grant is one of our tools to address and implement Arts Council Malta’s ongoing strategy, with a focus on nurturing creative potential and supporting its development into professional activity.
The grant aims at giving a support structure that encourages new applicants to access public investment; it is therefore addressed towards applicants who have not received funding through ACM’s funding portfolio in the past three years (2024 – 2026). The Micro Grantenables individual artists and creative practitioners to develop artistic work that will help the applicant to advance their practice.
The Micro Grant is a one-time grant designed to provide support for capacity-building items like supporting services, equipment, materials, and space that are directly linked to a project, activity or event that will take place during the eligible timeframe of this call.
Activities falling within the cultural and creative sector:
- Arts (literature, visual arts, music, performing arts, interdisciplinary)
- Creative Business Services (design, architecture, cultural tourism, and cultural services)
- Heritage (crafts, traditional festivals and celebrations, cultural sites, antiques)
- Media (publishing and printed material, audiovisuals, including film and video production, film servicing, television, video games, radio, online media).
