Indonesian Arts & Culture Online Scholarship (IACS) 2022

The program is organized to enhance international understanding of Indonesia's diverse artistic and cultural heritage, build a culture of cooperation through direct contact and cultural exchange among participants, and thereby foster good diplomatic relations in the region and internationally.

Due to space and organizational limitations, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with Indonesian embassies and consulates abroad, implemented a selection process for program participants based on factors such as background, gender, representativeness, and interest in Indonesian culture.

These art centers are located in six provinces of Indonesia, including: Bali; Padang - West Sumatra; Kutai Kartanegara - East Kalimantan; Banyuwangi - East Java; Makassar - South Sulawesi; and Yogyakarta.

Candidates will study Indonesian art and culture, have the opportunity to experience local heritage, and interact with local artists.
