What’s in the index?
Set up your artist profile once. We surface opportunities matched to your practice and CV, score each one by how well it fits, and keep your deadlines and applications on one simple dashboard.
It sits on a few hundred arts council pages, foundation sites and residency listings that each publish differently, update on their own schedule, and expire without warning.
So finding a grant becomes a research job you do for free, every season, in the hours you meant to spend making work.
Every arts council, foundation, residency and job board in the index is read daily, not quarterly.
Each listing is stripped to what decides whether you apply. Discipline, eligibility, location, amount, deadline.
Links are re-verified on a schedule. Anything expired or broken is flagged and pulled out.
Your discipline, career stage and location decide what you see. The rest stays out of your way.
Edit your disciplines, the countries you want to look in or your CV, and your matches are scored again straight away.
Thumbs up or down on any listing. A thumbs down takes that one out of your matches, and a few of them move the similar ones down too.
