Nordic and Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture, which was launched in the beginning of the year, once again invites artists and culture practitioners to apply for support.
This mobility programme provides possibilities for representatives of culture and art fields to build new networks as well as to go for short study-visits to the Nordic countries. The nearest call for applications opens on August 5th with the deadline September 3rd.
“After two spring-calls there’s a clear tendency that artists from Lithuania are less active and submit less applications, compared to their colleagues from Latvia and Estonia. We would like to encourage Lithuanian artists and culture practitioners to use the possibilities, provided by this mobility programme, since it’s open for professionals from all fields of art and culture”, - says Brigita Urmanaite, adviser at the Nordic Council of Ministers Office.
Before submitting grant application, artists should think of the quality, detailed description and budget of the project as well as its innovativeness. Applicants are welcome to submit applications to two modules of the programme.
Mobility funding is one of the programme’s modules that finances mobility of artists from the Nordic and Baltic countries. The financial support can be granted to professional artists working in all art forms and genres; to artists, authors, translators, curators, producers, cultural editors, researchers etc.
The grant is only for individuals going to/from Nordic countries; there is no age limit for the applicants. The remaining deadlines in 2009 are September 3rd and November 11th.
Network funding is a module that promotes cooperation in the field of culture and supports network building in the region of the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The eligible applicants are art and culture institutions, organizations and practitioners in the Nordic and Baltic countries working at all levels and across all borders. The only deadline left in 2009 is September 3rd.
The budget of the programme in 2009 is Euro 1,5 million (DKK 11 million) and it is financed by the governments of the Nordic and Baltic countries.
This Mobility Programme for Culture is run by the Nordic Culture Point, which is based in Helsinki, Finland. The general information is provided by the Nordic Council of Ministers Office.
