TelepART funding programme now open and accepting new applications

jan 8, 2024 | TelepART

Theatre performance The Grapes of Reason. Four people sit on stage around a table. The table is covered by a checked white and green tablecloth. The person to the left of the table sits with their hands on their knees and wears a small, golden party hat. They have a sad expression. The next person sat behind the table wears a headband and is wiping the mouth on the tablecloth. The person sat next to them looks on disapprovingly. The person sitting to the right of the table has a high ponytail. They are leaning away from the table with a concerned look.

The TelepART funding programme for the performative arts between Finland and the Benelux region is now open and accepting new applications.

Our Head of Programme, Malin Bergström encourages applications: “The TelepART platform offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to perform for new audiences, and encourages international connections. If you’re looking for assistance in your project between Finland and the Benelux-region, look into TelepART.”

The TelepART Mobility Support Platform provides opportunities for performing artists to travel and perform between Finland and the Benelux. It is an easy and quick micro-funding aimed for emerging and semi-established professionals.
