OUT.RA – Associação Cultural is now accepting applications to its creation grant by young local artists who want to develop artistic work related to music / sound / sound art / multimedia during 2022.
This year, we've decided to remove the age limit from this grant, although it remains focused on supporting emergent artists without a consolidated career.
The broadened geographical scope established in 2021 remains, and artists residing in neighbouring Moita and Seixal are still eligible for this grant, which amounts to 1000€.
Since 2015, the OUT.RA Local Creation Grant has supported artists like André Neves, Van Ayres, Camila Vale and Vera Marques, among others.
You can read all the necessary information regarding this grant below. Applications are open until January 16th 2022. We're looking forward to receiving your projects!
