Grant for Arts & Culture Creators
Are you (semi-)professional and want to create a cultural production within the City of Leeuwarden? Such as a performance, concert, work of art or exhibition. And does this activity contribute to the cultural offering in the City of Leeuwarden? Or are you a local creator and want to (further) develop your talent? If so, you can use the Arts & Culture Creators (Makers Kunst & Cultuur) grant scheme.
What are the conditions?
- Your activity must be able to be visited by residents of the municipality of Leeuwarden.
- If the activity is outside the City of Leeuwarden, it should contribute to the promotion and positive image/appearance of the City of Leeuwarden on a national and international level.
- You may make a maximum of 1 application per application period. There are 2 application periods per year: from 1 January to 30 June and from 1 July to 31 December. A maximum grant amount of €5,000 applies per application period.
- The grant is 50% of the organisational costs for the activity, but never more than the amount you are short of and never more than €5,000. You must cover the remaining costs by other means, such as through income from admission, sponsorship, grants from other governments, funds, donors, own contributions or crowdfunding.
What should you attach to your application?
- An activity plan. This includes an overview describing the nature, scope, period, duration, location and method of implementation of the activities for which funding is sought. A description of the background, rationale, approach, planning, PR and desired audience reach is also requested.
- A balanced and adequately explained budget of income and expenditure. The budget also shows the requested grant amount. The budget must absolutely be balanced.
