Program Funding of the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony

The program funding of the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony offers a wide range of funding opportunities for projects in art, culture, and media throughout the entire Free State. The focus is on tailored offerings addressing current thematic priorities: For example, the Small Projects Fund supports creative initiatives in rural areas, while the Digital Culture program promotes projects at the intersection of art and digitality. Through guest performance funding, already proven stage productions or visual exhibitions can be made accessible to a broader public. Additionally, the program Jewish Life in Art and Culture raises awareness of Jewish perspectives within Saxony’s cultural discourse. Selected institutions receive additional resources for profile development and professionalization through a multi-year concept funding fund, and the Musical Instrument Fund provides talented emerging artists with high-quality instruments. Funding is granted in the form of subsidies and responds flexibly to changing needs.

The call is aimed at non-profit organizations, public institutions, educational providers, and companies wishing to realize art and cultural projects in Saxony. Applications can be submitted continuously, ensuring ongoing access to funding. The Cultural Foundation places special emphasis on concepts that strengthen regional structures, expand cultural participation, and test new formats. Interested project sponsors can find detailed information on application procedures, funding frameworks, and reporting obligations in the funding guidelines. This program funding offers a unique opportunity to sustainably anchor innovative ideas in art and culture and to further develop Saxony’s cultural diversity.
