Cultural Mobility Funding Guide


Database for international mobility of artists, cultural professionals, and organisations travelling from or to the Netherlands or the Caribbean part of the Kingdom

Finding funding is one of the biggest challenges for artists, cultural professionals, and organisations with international ambitions. This guide helps you explore funding opportunities for your international projects, such as exhibitions, tours, residencies, festival participation, or collaborations abroad. It also includes options for further education abroad, like summer courses or masterclasses. Additionally, you’ll find funding opportunities for international projects within the Kingdom of the Netherlands that involve foreign partners or guests.

The guide lists public and private funding sources at local, national, and international levels. It focuses on regular, online-accessible opportunities for artists and cultural professionals from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as those traveling there.
