Funding in the Field of Performing Arts

Funding in the Field of Performing Arts provides continuous financial support for diverse projects in Burgenland. Supported are festivals, dance projects, theater groups as well as amateur and youth theater. Musical and theater initiatives at schools, as well as accompanying dance and theater workshops, are also among the eligible activities. Eligible to apply are interest groups or other associations, private individuals, and companies with documented ties to Burgenland. Applications can be submitted at any time using a standardized funding request, thereby covering both spontaneous initiatives and long-term planned productions. Designed as a grant, the funding enables a noticeable relief in production costs and fees, thus contributing to the vibrant cultural landscape of the region.

The focus is on strengthening local cultural and theater associations as well as major festival organizers and individual actors in the performing arts. The support facilitates access to professional productions and creative experiments, opening up new forms of expression for creatives of all age groups. A prerequisite for the funding is a proven connection to Burgenland and the submission of the regular application form. The allocation of funds takes into account the qualitative and substantive orientation of the projects. Thanks to a clear administrative structure at the office of the Burgenland Provincial Government, approval, control, and funding processing procedures are carried out efficiently. This initiative makes a decisive contribution to the diversity and further development of the performing arts in Burgenland.
