Perform Europe Open Call Launch Event

Building on the success of the pilot program, Perform Europe—a highly-anticipated funding scheme for the European performing arts sector—continues its mission to support inclusive, diverse, and green partnership projects across the forty Creative Europe countries.

At the event, the new Perform Europe Open Call was introduced, marking its official launch. The event's program centered around the following:

● Unveiling Perform Europe 2 and its Open Call: Goals, activities and opportunities
● Introducing the Perform Europe Toolkit: a user friendly publication, tailored to help applicants to form partnerships and apply
● Knowledge sharing: Perform Europe's upcoming activities, events, and valuable resources.

The call launched on 1 December 2023 and stays open until 31 March 2024. It's aimed at supporting innovative models for inclusion and greening in the performing arts. Our €2.1 million fund will be allocated to at least thirty-five successful partnership proposals, with a maximum grant of €60,000 for each selected project. All organizations and professionals working in the performing arts, and legally based in one of the forty Creative Europe Countries, are eligible to apply. We particularly welcome applications by or involving underrepresented areas or groups. Full information about the open call was revealed during the Open Call Launch Event, you can also refer to the Perform Europe website to find out more.

Perform Europe is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and is implemented by a consortium of six organisations: IETM, The European Festivals Association (EFA), Circostrada, EDN - European Dance Development Network, Pearle - Live Performance Europe and IDEA Consult.
