On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between The Netherlands and South Korea, DutchCulture and Arts Council Korea set up a 2-year partnership (2021-2022) to encourage greater cooperation between Korean and Dutch art and cultural sectors.
Within the thematic framework of Inclusivity and/or Innovation, the two partner organisations have joined forces, aiming to foster Dutch-Korean collaborative projects, research, and exchange activities together in a variety of art forms, including visual arts, performing arts (music, dance, theatre and traditional arts), literature, as well as interdisciplinary practices and design disciplines.
With great support from the Dutch Embassy in Seoul, DutchCulture has designed an International Arts Joint Fund Programme with Arts Council Korea. Through open calls from both sides, this programme is established to encourage shared ideas and concepts between Dutch and Korean cultural and creative sectors to develop, matchmake and ultimately evolve into presentations for the public in both countries, and beyond.
This is the open call for Netherlands-based artists, makers or cultural institutions to join this special collaborative programme. For more information on the international exchange programme go to Arts Council Korea.
Deadline: 9 July 2021
DutchCulture looks for project proposals that fulfil the following requirements.
The subsidy is only provided to the Netherlands-based artists/makers or institutions. (Korean artists/makers or institutions will be eligible to apply for an open call that will be published later by Arts Council Korea under the framework of the Netherlands-Korea International Arts Joint Fund Program.)
A complete application consists of:
Send the complete application by email to Ian Yang by Friday 9 July 2021. Please state in the email subject line ‘Open Call NL-KR projects R&D – the title of your project’.
Your application will be reviewed and assessed by DutchCulture in consultation with the Dutch Embassy in Seoul and Arts Council Korea. If necessary, additional information can be requested. Additional information regarding the project is always welcome.
An assessment will take place no later than four weeks after the expiry of the deadline. We will inform you of the decision of your application by email. A subsidy is subject to obligations as stated in the decision and in the application form.
