Deadline: 31-May-23
Culture Moves Europe’s first call for individual mobility targets artists and cultural professionals working in the following sectors : music, literary translation, architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, visual arts and performing arts.
The Programme offers mobility grants for applicants legally residing in a country that participates in the Creative Europe Programme and travelling to another Creative Europe country.
What for?
The Individual Mobility Action of Culture Moves Europe provides financial support to partially fund the cost of travel (transport, accommodation, etc.) of an artist or a cultural professional residing in a Creative Europe country and going to another Creative Europe country to implement a project with an international partner (organisation or individual). The international partner (organisation or individual) is an associate that agrees to host the individual artist(s), guides him/her/them through their working environment and implements the project with him/her/them.
The eligible sectors comprise: architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, literary translation, music, performing arts and visual arts. The mobility scheme allows A&CP to internationalise their activities and horizons by pursuing one of the following objectives:
- To explore: To explore Europe’s rich cultural heritage to inform, direct or inspire their own creativity.
- To create: To co-create or co-develop art with A&CPs from other countries.
- To learn: To participate in non-formal learning.
- To connect: To develop or deepen international professional relationships. Please note that: the mobility scheme cannot be used purely to fund travel for artists to present their work in a professional setting (vernissage, exhibition, concert, performance).
Eligibility Criteria
Individual artists and cultural professionals (A&CP) or groups of individuals (from 2 to 5 people) who are natural persons;
- Aged 18+;
- From all educational qualifications and levels of experience;
- From all cultural and creative sectors covered in the Culture Strand of the Creative Europe programme (architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, literary translation, music, performing arts and visual arts);

The scheme offers specific support to artists and cultural professionals living with a disability. The scheme should also be geographically balanced: accessible to A&CP living in rural and remote areas, including overseas territories of the participating countries or countries where A&CP have less experience of international cooperation. It should also reach out to A&CP who are marginalised or have family responsibilities.
