Cultural Special Projects

In the state of Salzburg, collaborative cultural projects as well as cross-departmental initiatives with a verifiable profile are funded annually. The grant particularly supports projects in the field of Salzburg's art and cultural history, including commemorative years, anniversaries, or tributes to significant personalities. Artistic engagements with historical events and commemorative cultural initiatives are also taken into account. The funds are allocated within the framework of the available annual budget; applications can be submitted continuously and are settled based on transparent proof of use.

Eligible for funding are non-profit organizations, public institutions, as well as private individuals who are based in or have their main area of activity in the state of Salzburg and can demonstrate a clear cultural profile. In the evaluation, the contribution to Salzburg’s international reputation as a land of art and culture, as well as the relevance to local art and cultural history, play a central role. In particular, artists, cultural practitioners, and cultural institutions benefit from this opportunity to realize innovative collaborations and to make the region’s cultural heritage experientially accessible in a contemporary manner through artistic projects.
