Application Information

This application form and all materials related to your IIE-APF application will be treated confidentially and will not be shared beyond the IIE-APF program without your explicit permission.

Direct Application & Third-Party Submissions

Artists may apply directly, or application materials may be submitted by a third-party.

Application Requirements

A complete application package must be submitted online before consideration. Please see Instructions and Application.

Deadlines

Applications and submissions are evaluated throughout the year, on a rolling basis. Applicants that meet all APF eligibility requirements and provide a completed application package will be considered by the APF Selection Committee. The APF Selection Committee meets up to two (2) times per year. Decisions are announced approximately two (2) weeks after each Selection Committee Meeting.

Emergency Applications

Emergency applications may be considered out of cycle, by the APF Selection Committee, if an applicant’s circumstances warrant extremely urgent review.

Host Institutions

Financial and/or substantive in-kind support must be provided by the hosting institution. APF works to identify suitable host institutions for successfully awarded fellows. Please note that placement times vary on a case-by-case basis and can depend upon several factors, including host institution paperwork and visa processing. Learn more about hosting.

Grant Funds

Distribution of APF grant funds is contingent upon placement and arrival at the host institution. APF does not provide grant funds directly to awarded fellows. In most cases, fellowship funds are transferred to the host institution, which is required to disburse APF funds directly to the fellow—in the form of a monthly stipend.

Review Process

In addition to a thorough review of all required application and portfolio materials, the Artist Protection Fund may contact referees and other knowledgeable sources—which may include independent experts on the country of origin or specialists on the reported threat/risk. In some cases, verification can be relatively straightforward—other cases may require extensive investigation and investment of APF resources. For particular types of reported threat, including anonymous intimidation or situations involving detainment, imprisonment, and/or physical violence, verification is undertaken with particular sensitivity to the security concerns of the applicant. All applications considered for fellowship support are screened against a database containing the names of individuals, groups, and entities that are listed on global sanctions, money laundering, and law enforcement watch lists.
