Call for applications: Arts and culture project support in Nigeria

Individuals and cultural initiatives can apply to receive support in various arts projects, including, but not limited to, music, dance, theatre, film and visual arts.

Goethe-Institut also supports artists who could be included in the programmes of German festivals but do not have the necessary funding. The German cultural organisation regards this support as crucial, in order to give young and upcoming artists in the cultural landscape of Nigeria a chance to be heard and seen.

In order to facilitate the selection process and to make it transparent for all artistic and cultural initiatives in the country, Goethe-Institut invites all interested applicants to send in their project application with the intention to enter into a professional partnership with the Goethe-Institut Nigeria.
