Call for Proposals programme
Open calls for proposals set impulses. They take place within a given time frame and have a specific focus in terms of target group, region, sector, topic and output. Criteria and focal points of an open call are described and specified in the respective call. For each open call, an ad hoc jury is appointed consisting of artlink staff and external national and international experts.
What is Südkulturfonds?
Südkulturfonds is financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and administered by the Office for Cultural Cooperation, artlink. Südkulturfonds supports productions and events by and with artists from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe (non-EU countries) through deficit guarantees and project contributions. The aim of this funding activity is to facilitate access to the local cultural market and professional networks for artists from the Global South and East.
The Südkulturfonds offers two funding formats: 1) Ongoing Grant Programme and 2) Call for Proposals Programme.
On the one hand, the Südkulturfonds supports artists from countries in which the SDC is implementing a country or regional programme as part of its international cooperation. On the other hand, it supports the projects of artists from countries which, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), are entitled to development funds.
Eligible countries and regions can be found in the Südkulturfonds country list.
artlink manages the Südkulturfonds on behalf of the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC).
