Funding for Performing Arts

The Performing Arts Funding of the state of Vorarlberg is aimed at non-profit organizations and is dedicated to the financial support of professional dance and theater projects throughout Vorarlberg. Funding is provided for both in-house productions by dance artists and theater groups as well as contributions to relevant festivals. Annual grants are available to associations and networks committed to the development and networking of the performing arts. Submissions are possible at any time, allowing for temporal flexibility and enabling artistic initiatives to be realized situationally.

Requirements for a successful application include the submission of a completed application form, a detailed income-expenditure statement, and a feedback confirmation from the responsible arts commission. Disbursement is made in several installments depending on the project’s progress to ensure sustainable planning and implementation. The aim of this funding measure is to strengthen the diversity of the dance and theater scene in Vorarlberg, support regional networks, and promote the presence of dance and theater productions on national and international stages. Through continuous funding opportunities, the program contributes to establishing innovative formats and cultural impulses that provide new stimuli to the region and highlight artistic excellence.
