Aids for the performing arts

Presentation of the device 

The artistic teams (dance companies, theatre, circus, street arts and musical ensemble) can be accompanied by the Ministry within the framework of the device of decentralized aids to live performance (ADSV). Every year about 1300 teams from all disciplines are supported.

This aid scheme is governed by statutory instruments (decree, decree, circular) which we invite you to read before any solicitation (cf. documents to download below).

These aids are of two kinds: 
- annual project aid,
- aid for multi annual agreements.

They are awarded after the admissibility of the application has been examined, an opinion has been obtained from an advisory committee of experts in the field of live entertainment and a decision has been taken by the regional directorates.

In advance of your application (preferably before submitting your application), it is imperative to contact the sectoral advisor (the) in order to discuss your project and verify the eligibility of your application.
