Festivaltilskudd

Festivaltilskudd is a grant program designed to facilitate high-quality arts and cultural offerings that reach a broad audience in Trøndelag, Norway, and contribute to the diversity of cultural festivals in the region and breadth of cultural expressions. The funding scheme aims to promote festivals as cultural meeting places and strengthen festivals as professional arenas for dissemination. Festivals receiving support must provide regional value through their function or geographic reach and scope of activity. The grant supports annual or recurring events held over two or more days within main themes including performing arts, music, literature, visual arts, cultural heritage, and film. It also supports festivals that promote cultural diversity and inclusion. The program offers flexibility and predictability by allowing applications for multi-year support of up to three years and for additional activities that contribute to regional industry development. Priority is given to festivals under development or in the startup phase through development grants.
