APE Creative Grant
The 2024 APE Creative Grant is now open!
The deadline for the creative grant is the 7th April 2024.
The grants are available to anyone working on a creative project, from any field of art, that is primarily based on archival research, and makes use of Archives Portal Europe as part of its research tasks. We support these projects financially and through working hours from APE.
The awardee will be asked to volunteer as APE Ambassadors while using the grants (read more about the APE Ambassador Scheme), for a total of about 3 hours per month.
Apart from the Creative and Research grants, we also support research projects through help in archival research and support in liaising with archives. There is no deadline to apply for this kind of support, just get in touch via email at info@archivesportaleurope.net to discuss your ideas! You can read here some examples of projects that we have supported.

APE Creative Grant
The APE Creative Grant offers up to 2000 EUR to assist artists with creative projects that have a strong archival heritage component (including writing, visual arts, performative arts, photography, filmmaking, long-form journalism projects or documentaries, etc), plus up to 20 hours of in-kind support for their research during the running time of their grant. Institutions whose archival holdings are consulted as part of these creative projects will have to be APE content providers (that is, institutions that provide material to APE and/or that can be found via our Search in institutions).
The deadline to apply to this grant is the 7th April 2024 (with any archival trip to be completed by the end of October 2024).
