THE TYPES OF AID PROVIDED
One-off assistance, which can be mobilised at most twice.
It’s a one-time grant or a project grant. It shall support a specific action or a component of specific actions within the framework of a project.
(This applies, for example, to funding important artistic collaborations or funding exceptional programs.)
A three-year grant: renewable for 3 years.
It helps to structure the festival by contributing to the support of all its artistic and cultural activities and its functioning.
It is a three-year, multi-year agreement (OPC) with concrete and measurable objectives.
(Example: support for a structuring festival allowing the presence of an aesthetic or a discipline little represented within the territory concerned.)
A transversal aid.
In a transition process whatever its nature, it applies to the artistic, cultural and/or institutional project.
The priority for 2023 is to support positive actions related to sustainable development, gender equality and the fight against gender and sexual violence.
Applications are not automatically eligible for grants. The aid is part of a co-financing approach: the promoter of the project is required to receive at least another public funding. Each territorially competent decentralized service is responsible for the examination and follow-up of applications according to the established procedures.
