2027 east-central and southeast europe travel grants

In contrast to the fixed artist residencies in Switzerland and abroad, the travel grants are awarded to Swiss cultural professionals whose main focus is cultural exchange with the countries and regions of East-Central and Southeast Europe. Individuals and artistic duos from the following disciplines are invited to apply:

Literature/translation
Composition
Cultural criticism/curatorial work
Theatre (directing, dramaturgy, playwriting)
Dance
Visual arts

Travel grants provide the opportunity to establish new networks, conduct research for current or future projects, implement specific projects and develop or refine ideas for new projects. Grant recipients have the freedom to choose when they will travel, within a maximum period of one year, and can schedule this according to their professional and family responsibilities. The travel grants are designed to foster creative processes and serve as an inspiration for exploring the regions in question.
