Arts Promotion Centre Finland inviting Proposals for Grants for Mobility
Deadline: 15-Mar-21
The Arts Promotion Centre Finland is inviting proposals for the Grants for Mobility to promote the international mobility and networking of artists and art experts living in Finland.
Grants for mobility are intended to cover the costs of trips abroad. These trips must be connected to projects that are significant artistically or in terms of a specific artform, and in connection with which the applicant shall either:
Appear or present his/her art outside of Finland;
Work at an artist residence;
Develop his or her own work;
Promote the working environment within the artform.
Grants for mobility may be used to cover the costs of trips abroad insofar as other funding is not available. If the project is canceled due to the exceptional situation caused by the coronavirus after the grant has been awarded, the applicant must contact the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. In such cases, the grant may be used to promote the internationalization of the applicant’s own artistic activities in other ways.

The awarding of grants is based on a comparison and overall assessment of applications. When evaluating applications, the following three criteria and questions are used, not all of which need to be fulfilled. There is no weighting in the decision-making criteria.
