Création Africa is accepting applications for its Connect & Create circulation fund for performing arts and music. The official page marks the call as open and sets September 30, 2026 as the closing date.
For tours in Africa, the published criteria require at least five pre-confirmed performances across at least three countries outside the applicant's country of residence. European tours require at least three pre-confirmed performances. International event programmes must include at least three artistic teams from three different African countries.
The programme lists eligible mobility costs including transport, visas and insurance, accommodation, per diem, and movement of stage sets or technical equipment. The grant may cover no more than 70% of the project budget, so applicants must demonstrate at least 30% co-financing in cash or in kind. Projects must run between February and December 2027.
Applicants should read the official rules and application materials before relying on this summary, confirm their country and organisation eligibility, and retain proof for every pre-confirmed performance and budget contribution.
