Fund Your Practice

A focused matching service

Finding the right funder is often harder than the application itself. Silver Linings Arts reviews your project and returns a shortlist of the grants, foundations, and public schemes genuinely worth your time.

Personalised research

What We Do

Review your project narrative and practice
Match you against SLA’s own curated database of French public schemes (CNAP, DRAC, regional and municipal funds), private foundations (Fondation de France, Fondation des Artistes, and others), and relevant international mobility funding sources
Return a personalised shortlist — who to apply to, why they fit, and their deadline

Clear scope

What We Don’t Do

Silver Linings Arts is not a funder and does not award, process, or guarantee any grant.

We share our own research and matching — the application to each funder remains between the artist and that organisation.

How It Works

Apply

Apply via the Open Call Form. In the artistic project description box, upload your project narrative as a PDF where possible.

Want help actually preparing an application once you have your shortlist?
