Mission & Vision
The Section for Arts and Culture of the BMWKMS is committed to creating the framework conditions for a multifaceted and innovative cultural life in Austria. Through needs-based funding programs, fair funding conditions, and sustainable investments, the Ministry aims to support contemporary artists, institutions, and initiatives, thereby making a significant contribution to Austria’s cultural diversity and international visibility.
Target groups
Funding is provided to individuals (artists, authors, filmmakers), groups of artists (e.g., ensembles, collectives), art and cultural institutions (registered museums, public libraries, federal associations, innovative folk culture projects), as well as companies (only for innovative projects that would not be feasible without federal funding). Depending on the funding program, these target groups can apply for grants, scholarships, or investment subsidies and contribute with their initiatives to the diversity of the Austrian cultural landscape.
