FY 2025-2026 International Cultural Partnerships (ICP) Grants Program Guidelines

FY 2026-2027 International Cultural Partnerships (ICP) Grants Program Guidelines - Coming Soon

The International Cultural Partnerships (ICP) Grants Program - formerly the International Cultural Exchange (ICE) program - offers grants to Miami-Dade County-based professional cultural organizations to support meaningful artistic exchange, partnerships or collaborations with artists, arts professionals and/or organizations abroad. The program aims to elevate Miami-Dade County’s image abroad and support the efforts of Miami-Dade’s professional artists and cultural organizations to improve their work by engaging in meaningful arts and cultural activities with artists, arts professionals (such as curators, historians, designers) and/or arts organizations abroad.

Projects may involve any artistic discipline(s) and may take place in Miami-Dade County and/or abroad. Projects must demonstrate reciprocal relationships with another city, country or region, either as a component of the same project or over a specified period of time. Additionally, projects should demonstrate artistic excellence and originality within the organization’s overall programming goals.
 
The maximum grant request to the ICP Program depends upon the project budget; refer to program guidelines for matching requirements and further details.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RETURNING APPLICANTS:   Returning applicants will have the option to submit a completed application, including all required support materials, no later than one full calendar week in advance of the grant program’s published application deadline for a thorough “Courtesy Review” by the Program Administrator. Returning applicants who waive their option for a Courtesy Review and submit their applications by the grant program’s published deadline will receive a technical sufficiency review only. Applications received from first-time applicants by the grant program’s published application deadline will be reviewed by the Program Administrator and are exempt of meeting the program’s Courtesy Review deadline. For more information about the Courtesy Review policy, please refer to the DEADLINES section of the grant program guidelines.
