This new grant replaces the SKIP and Pop Festival Grant. Whereas previously mainly small-scale venues and pop festivals could apply, the new grant has a broader scope: other programming organizations can now also make use of this support.
The grant opens on October 8, and from that date the full guidelines will also be available. Below you can read in short what the aim of the new grant is and who can apply.
