5 music pools at the Danish Arts Foundation have a deadline of 17 August
Do you have plans for new concerts, releases, outreach, or music projects in the coming year? Several of the Danish Arts Foundation's music pools have an application deadline on Monday 17 August at 2.00 PM.
The Danish Arts Foundation's Project Funding Committee for Music has an application deadline for a number of music grants on Monday 17 August 2026 at 2:00 PM. This includes grants that may be relevant for artists, musicians, bands, ensembles, concert promoters, and other players in the music industry.
The new Project Support Committee for Music will award the grants for the first time. The previous music grants have simultaneously been reviewed with the ambition of making the support more transparent and modern with fewer requirements and criteria.
