Perform Europe invites organizations and professionals to apply for an artistic grant

Perform Europe, an international organization, is inviting applications from global cultural organizations and professionals. The initiative aims to support and enhance cross-border touring within the cultural sphere. Funding is available for artistic concepts developed within partner collaborations, adaptable and suitable for presentation in diverse settings. The open call will award winners with funding grants totaling up to €2.1 million. In this year's cycle, Perform Europe is specifically looking for project proposals and artistic contributions focusing on inclusion and diversity, or initiatives addressing the challenges posed by climate change. The organization's objective is to identify a minimum of 35 partnerships and allocate a maximum grant of €60,000 to each selected project

Perform Europe is a contemporary funding initiative dedicated to the European performing arts sector. The program started in 2020 and since then it facilitates international networking and provides support for touring projects that emphasize inclusivity, diversity, and sustainability across the 40 Creative Europe countries.

Perform Europe is guided by a coalition of European performing arts networks, including IETM (International network for contemporary performing arts), the European Dance Development Network (EDN), the European Festivals Association (EFA), Circostrada, Pearle (Live Performance Europe), and the research organisation IDEA Consult.
