International exchanges and travel grants - Dance and Circus

The Swedish Arts Grants Committee provides grants for international exchanges and travel to support dancers, choreographers, and circus artists' opportunities to create, develop and nurture contacts abroad. This funding includes two main types: international exchanges and travels abroad, and international exchanges in Sweden. For travel abroad, grants can support guest performances, tours, residencies, work stays, workshops, active participation in events, or self-initiated travel for professional development such as research, courses, festivals, or meetings with collaborators. For exchanges in Sweden, artists can apply to invite foreign artists to Sweden for collaborations, workshops or seminars that strengthen artistic development and international contacts. The program is designed for artist-initiated exchanges rather than institutional programming. Applications are accepted year-round with decisions made quarterly, and grants can be awarded retroactively if applied for before the exchange takes place.
