Asian Cultural Council Fellowships and Grants

ACC Fellowships and Grants support immersive cultural exchange experiences for artists, scholars, and arts professionals from Asia and the U.S. Programs fund long-term exploration, research, and dialogue—not production—across disciplines like visual arts, dance, literature, curation, and conservation. Fellows join a global alumni network and receive tailored support during their travels.
