For the Scandinavian peeps.

Possibilty for support. Kulturkontakt Nord. Diverse opportunities. This is more directed towards art, not practice as musician. Though could be solved in packaging an application as sound art.

I'll post some more opportunities down the line. A tip with KKN. If applying, I recommend doing this through the organizers/gallery/venue/institution (if possible) one is collaborating with.

Asking the ones you collaborate with to send in the application you mean? I just sent out a hurried application for mobility grant, found out that there was a deadline today... but that's probably a good tip for next time.

Sorry, was a bit unclear.

If one is invited by an organizer, venue, etc. it is my experience that it is best to apply via them/let them apply for you. Whatever of these two paths it may be, the application work is a collaborative work between oneself and the org. In order to have a venue apply for oneself it is of course necessary to have a part of the written material ready in order to have the org. flesh an application. This can for instance be a CV, musician/artist presentation, a project description plus audio/visual documentation material. If one is doing the work by oneself one should at least have a letter of intention from the inviting party.   

By having the inviting party as the stated applicant the support application is lent weight, as well as one have a pair of extra eyes that are/might be accustomed to dealing with this kind of grant shite. If they don't do the whole application, one should get at least a certain amount of assistance.

Didn't realize the deadline was today. Hope it works out for you!

There are more around both Swedish and pan-nordic if you want to go down that road but don't tell Tommy or he will lecture you on the evils of grants. Send me a mail and I help you.

New possibilites via Kulturkontakt Nord.

It is with a bit of ambivalence I post this. Not always should the DIY attitude be mixed with institutional support. On the other hand I figure individuals who work within the experimental and noise genre should be able to bleed state and institutions in the form of a well meaned robbery. Best of luck!
