mobility support for projects involving finland

TelepART Mobility Support promotes opportunities for performing artists, scientists and researchers to travel and perform internationally. It is an easy and quick micro-funding format aimed for emerging and semi-established professional artists and young academics.

TelepART-Arts: The grant is aimed at performances that are open to the general public. For example if there is an open performance in connection to an artist stay in a residency they may apply for the TelepART-grant.

TelepART-Science: In order to be eligible for the grant, both the performer and the event organiser must have a preliminary commitment to the project.

The grant must not represent more than 50% of the total cost of the production. Total production costs include travel, accommodation and shipping costs, performance fees and other performance related non-fixed costs (i.e. the technical staff for the performance), all including VAT. This rule assures that the travel budget is in balance with the size of the event. If applying for the art grant, The Performer must receive a reasonable compensation for their work (“performance fee”). Daily allowances, meals, etc. are neither supported by the programme nor included in the “Total costs of the production”.
