Regionale kulturfond - Kunst og kulturtiltak i Nordland

The Regional Cultural Fund for Arts and Culture Activities in Nordland provides state and county support for events and initiatives that promote competence development and collaboration between amateurs, volunteers, and professionals. The fund supports hiring of professional performers for local and regional cultural events across all genres of art and culture, including Sami language, art and culture. Support is also available for competence development, establishment of new networks and meeting places, and larger art and culture projects that contribute to an open, inclusive and diverse cultural life throughout the county. Projects must demonstrate innovation in the cultural sector and show clear effects, such as new collaborations, new cultural offerings, artistic development, increased activity and participation. The fund aims to facilitate interaction between the professional and voluntary cultural sectors, supporting the county's responsibilities in culture and stimulating larger development projects. Funded projects must begin in 2026.
