Social media efforts, mentorship or development of a concert or performance

The development pool is available for development work in three main areas.

SoMe, marketing and booking: Grants for press and marketing, for example SoMe activities, booking, press material or video production.

Production and/or development of a performance, project or concert: Grant for an activity that develops and strengthens a new or ongoing project.

Mentorship: Grants to try out a new collaboration, get inspiration to boost business or work with a mentor.


Covers new and existing projects

The development work can be done in connection with a new production that is starting up, or it can be linked to a current project that needs strengthening or rethinking.

The pool is established for artists and musicians in music, performing arts, circus and entertainment - and covers professionals from both the performing and creative fields.

The funds should allow other or more disciplines to come in and help develop and visualise projects or stimulate the creative process.

The first pool in 2026 opens on 1 February and has a deadline of Monday 2 March.
