In addition to moderating discussions under the Arts Collaboratory Forum, Arts Collaboratory offers small-scale financial support to special projects that enhance knowledge-generation, -sharing and –dissemination on a variety of themes. At the moment these themes include Re-writing Art History, Improving Cultural Management, and Methods & Content of Pedagogical Art Practice. Other themes are always welcome.

Small-scale support is provided to special projects that involve artists from different initiatives and that are innovative in content, form or outreach, related to the aforementioned themes. Preference is given to projects that involve artists from different countries and involve more nationalities.
