After funding approval:
- Detailed financing plan agreed with the artist from Ukraine
- Schedule
Applications for cultural organisations in Germany can only be submitted via the online portal.
Artists and cultural professionals should apply directly via the forms on the Website of Artists at Risk. The prerequisite for a successful placement is that they have had their main place of residence in Ukraine in recent years and have been active as artists there.
Applications will be vetted and prioritised by a German-Ukrainian team of matchmaking curators from Artists at Risk (AR) and the Goethe-Institut and subsequently matched with institutions in Germany, selected through this call. The final selection of the artists lies with the institution offering the programme.
After a successful application, further documents and instructions will be provided to help guide the process. For example, if the artist is already receiving support from the Jobcenter, they should preferably not apply for a grant for living expenses, but, as the applicant institution, support the procurement of materials or production costs with the funding from the Goethe-Institut. The applying organisation will be asked to work out a financing plan together with the artist and submit it to the Goethe-Institut.
Applications for funding can be submitted until 31.10.2023. The funding amount must be spent by 31.12.2023.
