Arts support

Money that arrives before the opening night.

A modest fund for rooms, print and travel — the costs that kill a show before anyone hears it.

What we do

Micro grants

Rooms, print, one travel leg.

Residencies

A week with a key and a quiet table.

Advice hour

Budgets, not branding.

Invoice pay

We pay against invoices. The art does not wait for a twelve-page theory of change.

Travel that is a ticket

One leg, a room, the print bill — the costs that kill a show.

Advice hour

Budgets and a timeline. Not branding.

Who this is for

Artists & small companies

Who need the room before opening night.

Venues

When a modest transfer unsticks a date.

Peers

Who will sit in an advice hour without pitching a lifestyle.

How a typical job runs

  1. 1. One-pager

    What, when, what it costs, who else is in. Clorefonasu reads on a calendar.

  2. 2. Decide

    A window, a yes or a short no.

  3. 3. Pay

    Against the invoice you sent. Residencies get a key and a table.

  4. 4. Close

    What happened, one paragraph. No impact ballet.

About Clorefonasu

We take short applications, decide on a calendar, and pay against invoices. No twelve-page theory of change.

A modest fund for rooms, print and travel — the costs that kill a show before anyone hears it. Money that arrives before the opening is the whole point of Clorefonasu.

We will not fund a ‘platform’. We will fund a room, a print run, a train.

A quote from the printer or the venue is worth more than an artist statement.

Questions people actually ask

Can I apply with a video?
A one-pager first. Video if the work is time-based.
International?
Travel legs yes; we say the map each window.
Do you take a credit?
A line if you want. Not a logo wall that outweighs the work.
When is the window?
Rolling when we can, closed when the pot is empty. We say.
If you say no?
A short reason. Reapply next cycle if the work changed.
