Subsidy Cultural Events Opsterland

Would you like to organize a local or regional cultural activity or event? If so, you can apply for the Opsterland Cultural Events Grant.

Through the Opsterland Cultural Events Grant Program, we are pleased to provide support for innovative cultural initiatives. The program is intended for events and activities that contribute to:

  • an innovative and diverse cultural program in Opsterland;
  • a strong and vibrant cultural sector in our municipality;
  • the visibility and appeal of Opsterland, both for our own residents and for visitors from outside the municipality.

Request

For a local event, you can apply for a grant of up to €1,000 per activity. For larger cultural events with a supraregional reach, you can apply for a grant covering 40% of the eligible costs, up to a maximum of €5,000 per event.

There are two application periods each year:

  • September 1 through October 31 for activities taking place from January 1 through June 30 of the following year;
