Deadline: 25-Aug-21
Grants for Mobility by Arts Promotion Centre Finland is now open for applications from artists and aims to promote international mobility and networking of artists and art experts living in Finland.
Purpose
Grants for mobility are intended to cover the costs of trips abroad. These trips must be connected to projects that are significant artistically or in terms of a specific artform, and in connection with which the applicant shall either
- appear or present his/her art outside of Finland
- work at an artist residence
- develop his or her own work
- promote the working environment within the artform.
Grants for mobility may be used to cover the costs of trips abroad insofar as other funding is not available.
If the project is cancelled due the exceptional situation caused by the corona virus after the grant has been awarded, the applicant must contact the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
In such cases, the grant may be used to promote the internationalization of the applicant’s own artistic activities in other ways.
Funding Information
- Grants for mobility are generally awarded for the amounts of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 or 5000 euros. Grants awarded to working groups may be for larger amounts. Grants amounting to less than 1000 euros are generally not awarded.
- Acceptable costs include:
- travel tickets (using the least expensive form of public transport)
