Deadline: 22 April 2024
Do you, as a designer, have a new perspective on current crises, like the climate crisis, discrimination, the migration and asylum crisis, social and opportunity inequality or the housing crisis? The Creative Industries Fund NL is inviting designers, architects, makers and observers to carry out research or an experiment in collaboration with one or more partners from outside the creative industry.
With the Open Call Fresh Perspectives, the Fund supports makers in offering new perspectives on social, cultural, economic and political issues. In doing so, the Fund stimulates cross-sector collaborations in which makers, designers and architects can, together with other organizations, come to new and surprising approaches.
Funding Information
- € 10,000 maximum amount to apply for
- € 100,000 budget
What projects are eligible for a grant?
- The open call focuses on collaborations, in which parties work together to approach a social issue in a new way. Depending on the issue, the project can take on different forms, like an activation, programming, a publication, a service or a product.
Who is this open call intended for?
- Designers, architects, makers and observers who have been running their own practice for at least three years within the design, digital culture or architecture disciplines can submit an application. Collectives and duos are also welcome.
- At least one of the collaboration partners has proven knowledge of the theme that is central to the proposal and is active in an area of expertise that is different from the designer’s. This can include partners like platforms, labs, collectives, knowledge institutions, archives and/or other types of social organizations.
