Skopje European Capital of Culture 2028 is calling for projects for their 2028 programme. Project duration may span months or years (2026–2028).

This Open Call is conceived as a grant-based cultural funding mechanism, not as a public procurement procedure. Its primary purpose is to support original, non-commercial cultural and artistic projects that align with the strategic objectives of Skopje 2028 and the broader values of the European Capital of Culture programme.

Projects selected through this call will become an integral part of the official Skopje 2028 programme, implemented across the city and its ten municipalities, in both institutional and public spaces.
