Strada Festivals grant

The Strada grant aims to contribute to the implementation of urban art forms outside the usual territories of artistic creation. It is divided into two parts: Strada Collectivités, for regional governments, and Strada Festivals, for non-profits that organise festivals. In total, two €7,500 grants are awarded each year.

The “Festival” grant is intended for festivals that have existed for less than 15 years, are organised by a non-profit in a town with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants, and wish to present a new work created by an artist or artist collective. The festival must be connected to its local area.

How much is the Strada Festivals grant?

A €7,500 grant, intended for non-profits, is awarded each year and divided as follows:

• €4,000 for the artist or artist collective
• €3,500 for the commissioning non-profit, covering the realisation of and support for the project

Legal support from ADAGP on questions relating to the artist or artist collective’s copyright will be offered to the awarded festival.

Who can apply?

The non-profit applies on behalf of a project by an artist or artist collective from the French scene (working or living in France for at least five years, or French nationals living abroad) that it wishes to present during the festival. The application may concern only one creation project among those included in the festival’s programme. The creation project may be participatory or not.
