Interventions in Urban Space

Funding programme to strengthen and make visible art actors and local cultural scenes

With this new programme, the NRWKS aims to strengthen and make visible the art actors and local cultural scenes in its member cities, with reference to the local districts, neighbourhoods and spaces.

Support is given to installative art actions with performative elements and artistic interventions on current topics, with the involvement of the local public. The focus is on the use of special performance spaces, both indoors and outdoors, beyond the classical stages and podiums.

"Interventions in Urban Space" combines the previous funding activities of the programmes "PerformAktiv" and "Stadtviertel-Förderung".

Eligible for funding are qualified and/or experienced artists and cultural actors, as well as local initiatives and institutions - in each case in conjunction with one another. Applications can be submitted throughout the year. The maximum funding amount is 8,000 euros. A prerequisite for funding is the recommendation of the local cultural office.
