A Grant of up to $98,000 for Artists and Cultural Actors from the Nordic Culture Fund

The Nordic Culture Fund announces a grant for artists and cultural actors. The Globus Call aims to encourage artists and cultural actors to engage in wide transnational collaborations and long-term networks that extend beyond the Nordic region. The ambition is to meet the increasing need for artists to act across borders and to foster genuine exchange in complex and rapidly changing global environments.

• The Globus program will support artistic and cultural collaborations and projects that aim in their practice to transcend cultural, social, historical, geographical, and disciplinary boundaries. The program hereby encourages the building of cross-cutting collaborations and networks, which seek new perspectives through transcultural and local exchange and develop dialogue across different contexts. The program is open to projects that work experimentally in its approaches and methods and strives to explore interactions between the local and the global.
• Projects must be grounded in artistic and/or cultural practices but are welcome to include other professional fields and traditions.
• Grants up to DKK 700.000 (USD 98.000) can be applied for and awarded through the program.

• Applicants located both in the Global South and Global North can apply during the Call from 6 June – 3 October 2022. The applicants may be individuals, groups, associations, companies, public or private sector organizations, or institutions. Applications are submitted through the Fund’s digital platform My Page.
• All applications must be submitted in English. 
• Applications submitted by post or e-mail will not be considered. 
• It is obligatory to attach a budget stating the overall expenses and expected income for the project.
• Grants up to DKK 700.000 (USD 98.000) can be applied for and awarded through the program. The amount should be matched with a relevant co-financing or other resources to the extent possible.
• There must be a clear purpose for the project's use of the funding.
• The maximum grant period is two calendar years following the year in which the grant was provided. The grant period is the period during which the activities funded by Nordic Culture Fund are planned to take place. The project’s aims may extend over a longer time frame.
• Projects that meet the assessment criteria of the Fund's other programs‘ Project Funding’ and ‘Opstart’ cannot, in principle, obtain support from Globus. For example, projects that primarily focus on activities or the development of collaboration within the Nordic Region. Read more about the other programs here.
• Granted projects are expected to participate in network meetings and knowledge-sharing sessions during the grant period.
