Exhibitions, Projects, Workshops

The funding initiative "Exhibitions, Projects, Workshops" in Vienna supports artists from various disciplines – from solo artists to ensembles – with direct grants for the partial financing of creative endeavors. Private applicants with Austrian citizenship or permanent residence in Austria can submit funding applications on an ongoing basis to sustainably anchor exhibitions, projects, or workshops within society. The aim of this funding measure is to make contemporary art visible in the long term and to create stable framework conditions for artists. The available budget amounts to €0.15 million, with contributions in kind to be provided according to the applicant’s economic capacity.

For the application, a formal request must be submitted to the responsible Federal Ministry in accordance with § 4 of the Art Promotion Act. Additionally, information on contributions in kind as well as evidence of any other funding applications must be provided. The funding commitment is granted if the project would not be feasible or fully realizable without the grant. The application deadline is continuous, allowing interested parties to submit their projects at any time. This flexible structure facilitates artists in promptly securing resources for innovative cultural and media-related initiatives, thereby making a sustainable contribution to Vienna’s cultural landscape.
