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 (2022 – 2024). The Micro Grant enables 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.

Who can apply?

The Micro Grant is open to creative practitioners and/or individual artists who have not benefitted from ACM funding Schemes in the past three years (2022 – 2024).

Deadline 

The deadline to apply is Tuesday 15th October 2024 at noon. Late applications cannot be accepted.
