Grants for Culture
The City of Espoo awards annual grants for culture, event and project grants, development grants and artist grants. Annual grants are intended for art and cultural communities in Espoo. Event and project grants support arts and culture programmes in different areas of the city. Development grants are intended for professional art and cultural communities and operators in creative fields in Espoo for the development of new forms of activity. Artist grants are also open for applications for work by professional artists in Espoo. Cultural grants are applied for either electronically or by submitting an application to the City of Espoo Registry Office. Please read the application dates and grant conditions carefully before submitting your application. The award of grants is decided by the Culture Committee, and the decisions are based on the city's strategic guidelines.
Find more about the timeline for decision-making on the webpage. The grant recipient's guidelines on grant reporting and the City of Espoo's visibility in communications of the supported activities can be found on the webpage.
