Funding Opportunities
Funding for artist residencies
Funding for artist residencies is part of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture, which strengthens artistic and cultural cooperation in the Nordic region and the Baltic countries. The programme focuses on increasing the exchange of knowledge, contacts and interest in Nordic and Baltic art and culture. Nordic and Baltic residency centres can apply for funding to invite artists from other Nordic and Baltic countries. The purpose of the programme is to promote mobility between the Nordic and Baltic countries. During their residency, the artists must have the opportunity to focus on their work without distraction, meet other artists, and establish contacts with local practitioners of art and culture. The application should include plans to invite at least two professional artists from two other Nordic or Baltic countries outside the one where the centre operates. Although there is no limit to the length of a residency stay, the programme recommends longer stays of approximately 2-4 months, if possible. The funding can cover the calendar year in which the application is submitted, plus two additional years.
Short-term Network Funding
Short-term network funding is part of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture, which strengthens artistic and cultural cooperation in the Nordic region and the Baltic countries. The programme focuses on increasing the exchange of knowledge, contacts and interest in Nordic and Baltic art and culture. This funding facilitates meetings, the exchange of ideas and knowledge between professional artists and cultural practitioners in the Nordic and/or Baltic region. It supports networks working together for up to one year to explore new solutions and create networks for cooperation. Examples of eligible activities include joint meetings, conferences, workshops, staff exchanges, joint training, sharing resources and expertise for opinion-driven initiatives, and establishment of collaborative platforms that can later lead to larger international projects. The network must consist of partners from at least three Nordic and/or Baltic countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, and Åland).
