Short Description
In the autumn of 2025, Nordic Culture Point has anew the opportunity to allocate additional funding for residency activities to support Ukraine’s cultural scene. Ukrainian artists and cultural creators are still in need of international contacts and working opportunities abroad, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The special initiative is part of the residency funding module of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme.
Eligibility
Only residency centres located in the Nordic and Baltic countries can apply for funding, and only artists and cultural creators who are Ukrainian nationals can be considered for residency placement in this round. Residency centres that are granted funding can therefore invite Ukrainian artists and cultural creators, as well as cover all the artists or creators’ costs, along with those of any accompanying family members. Groups can also be invited. The other criteria for Nordic-Baltic residency funding will apply in the assessment.
Funding can be applied for by existing residency centres or organisations and institutions that that have at least one year of documented experience of organising residencies in the fields of art and culture.
Individual applicants cannot apply for funding for artist residencies.
Residency centres applying for funding must be located in the Nordic Region (Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Åland) or the Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania).
