Reopening of the Support Programme for Ukrainian Artists 2024

The Support Programme for Ukrainian Artists 2024 reopens. In the fall of 2023, the government allocated an additional budget to support artists who fled Russian aggression after 24 February 2022 and are currently residing in the Netherlands. This is a continuation of the Support Programmes of 2022 and 2024.

Applications can be submitted by Dutch cultural organizations on behalf of and in collaboration with an individual artist or a group. The Dutch organization or legal entity can either submit applications for up to five individual creators or one application for a group of up to 10 people. All disciplines are eligible: film, performing arts, visual arts, creative industries (including architecture and design), cultural education, cultural heritage, and literature.

The Support Programme is intended for cultural and creative creators with a Ukrainian passport who were living in Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and are now living in the Netherlands as refugees or who are coming to the Netherlands for the project for which the application is submitted. A total of €180,000 is available. Each creator can receive a maximum of €9,000. This will enable at least 18 refuged artists to continue their professional work.

Applications will be processed in the order in which they are received. The date of receipt is the date the application is fully completed. The programmes are open (at the latest) until 1 November 2024 or as long as the budget lasts.

Applications for the programmes can be submitted through the website of the Dutch Foundation for Literature:
