Deadline: 12 September 2024
The Nordic Culture Point is seeking applications for the Culture and Art Programme that funds Nordic co-operation in the field of arts and culture.
Funding is available for projects with an artistic and/or cultural quality that promotes a diverse and sustainable Nordic Region.
Funding Information
- You can apply for funding for all phases of a project, starting with preliminary work to the implementation of a complete project. The amount applied for must be realistic in relation to the size of the project. The larger the amount applied for, the larger your own funding contribution must be, e.g. by way of funding from other contributors. Co-funding is seen as an important part of the project’s prerequisites.
- A project can be granted:
- up to EUR 7,000 without other sources of funding
- up to EUR 40 000 with at least 30% co-funding
- up to EUR 100 000 with at least 50% co-funding
- This means that the contribution from the Culture and Art Programme can cover between 50% and 100% of the project’s total costs, depending on the amount applied for.
What is eligible for funding?
- The programme grants support to projects within all areas of art and culture, in all project phases: preliminary work, production, presentation and dissemination. However, you cannot apply for funding for activities which have already been conducted.
- You can apply for support for projects that invest in cultural and artistic productions and creative work as well as to organise and implement projects that develop skills within the field of art and culture. Support can be granted for all types of costs that are directly associated with the project.
- For example, the projects may entail:
- creation or dissemination of works, projects and initiatives that require a creative process
- creation of meeting places between artists/cultural bodies and the public
- development and dissemination of knowledge and/or work methods
- organising discussions and debates, as well as seminars and workshops.
Who is eligible to apply?
- Anyone active in the field of art and culture can apply, as long as the project meets the programme criteria and is realised by way of co-operation with partners from at least three countries, at least two of which must be Nordic. In this context, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Åland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are considered as Nordic countries.
- Country affiliation is assessed according to the partners’ registered addresses, not nationality. The person submitting the application does not need to be resident in the Nordic Region, as long as the Nordic dimension of the project is met in terms of its partners and content.
