Deadline: 11-Nov-20
The Arts Promotion Centre Finland has launched a call for applications for the Grants for Mobility to promote the international mobility and networking of artists and art experts living in Finland.
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 to the exceptional situation caused by the coronavirus 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 internationalisation 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.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Arts Promotion Centre Finland does not award multiple state grants for the same purpose.
- Grants awarded by other parties are taken into consideration when awarding grants.
- Recipients of grants must use the grant during the year in which it was awarded or no later than during the following year. New grants shall not be awarded if previously awarded grants for the same purpose have not been used.
- Recipients of grants must submit written clarification of how the grant was used after the end of the grant period.
- Grants are awarded on condition that Parliament allocates the required appropriations in its annual State budget.
