Working grants and long-term grants - Dance and Circus

A working grant gives dancers, choreographers, and circus artists the opportunity to pursue and deepen their artistic practice. The Swedish Arts Grants Committee offers working grants covering periods of one, two, five or ten years. One-year working grants are typically awarded, but two- and five-year working grants are also available. Ten-year long-term grants can be awarded to major artists who have been practicing for a long time. The grant provides financial support to professional artists in the field of dance and circus who are residents in Sweden or primarily practice their art there. Recipients are selected based on artistic quality and financial need, with consideration given to distributing grants across different parts of the country and various artistic expressions.
