Grants range from one to nine months. The Council also makes partial Fellowship grants. The Asian Cultural Council established Japan-United States Arts Program Fellowships to encourage the study and understanding of Japanese art and culture. This program assists American artists, scholars, and specialists in the visual and performing arts to travel to Japan for research, observation, and creative work. Priority consideration is given to candidates with little or no previous opportunity for study in Japan.
Grants range in duration from one to six months.
The Council also makes partial Fellowship grants. Because the Program's limited resources are concentrated on fellowships to individuals, these few grants awarded to institutions are modest in size. The grants are generally made to support the participation of individual artists, scholars, and specialists from Japan in project activities in the United States, or to support the participation of American individuals in project activities in Japan. The Council does not consider proposals for publications, capital campaigns, or general administrative costs.
