Regionalt kulturfond

Regionalt kulturfond is a state-funded grant program administered by county municipalities in Norway. The fund aims to contribute to good local communities and an open, inclusive, and diverse cultural life. The grant stimulates increased activity and participation in cultural life, strengthens collaboration between professional and volunteer cultural sectors, reinforces local and regional cultural volunteerism, and contributes to increased quality in arts and cultural offerings locally and regionally. The fund supports three main categories: Production (enhancing quality through professional-amateur collaboration), Cooperation (strengthening cultural volunteerism through partnerships), and Culture for All (promoting diversity through recruitment and new cultural expressions). Activities must involve collaboration between professional cultural actors and volunteers, take place in Vestfold, and start in 2026.
