There will be a second opportunity to send proposal to BCAF funding with the next deadline extended to 20 January 2011.

Established in July 2011, the fund aims to support artists and arts organizations in Vietnam and to enhance collaborative practice between Vietnam and United Kingdom while promoting understanding of the two cultures. The initiative immediately attracted interest from the Vietnamese arts community, and by the deadline of 15th September the BCAF had received 20 applications to support a range of art forms, including photography, cinema, visual art, cartoons, theatre, craft design, graphic novels, and fine art books. There are also proposals which combine different art forms in interesting ways. Most applications come from contemporary artists who demonstrate the very latest in creativity.
