Funding and other support
The Institute continually looks for projects and ideas that fit in our programming together with our partners. We currently run the following schemes, which aim at supporting the mobility and internationalisation of Finnish and Finland-based artists, researchers and professionals:
Open Call: Factory International x EUNIC Creative Producers Programme
The Factory International x EUNIC Creative Producers Programme is a collaborative partnership between EUNIC and Factory International to enhance cultural dialogue and artistic collaboration between EU and the UK. It is intended that up to 14 creative producers from regions across EUROPE will be selected through an open call and supported by EUNIC, and one Manchester creative producer (nominated by Factory International), to gather in Manchester to attend networking, performance and learning events at Factory International and in its proximity.
Below Zero art award
Below Zero is a contemporary art prize awarded every other year to a Finnish or Finland-based contemporary artist. The award is worth £15,000 (approximately €17,000) and includes mentoring, material costs, a one-month residency in London, and an exhibition at Beaconsfield Gallery in London.
Open Calls
We regularly search for interesting projects with Open Calls. Please follow our social media channels and newsletter for updates on current opportunities.
