Funding year 2026: Fund responds to new challenges
Although funding for the Fonds has been stabilised in the 2026 federal budget, this cannot compensate for the consequences of the complete cancellation of nationwide projects and networks. In order to safeguard artistic work despite foreseeable deficits and structural gaps, the Fonds is making adjustments to its funding program.
Holger Bergmann, managing director of the fund:
“The goal is to stabilize the field, at least for independently producing artists working nationwide and large independent ensembles, despite the challenges facing independent theater and dance venues.”
The first calls for applications are already available under “Funding”—more will follow next week, along with an outlook for the rest of the year.
