Introduction to operating subsidies within the Arts Decree (live session)

1 December 2026 is the next deadline for submitting a grant application for operating subsidies under the Arts Decree (period from 2028 to 2032).

In response to this deadline Flanders Arts Institute developed a checklist for first-time applicants, in collaboration with Cultuurloket: how can you start preparing the application for operating subsidies?

On 8 October, we are organising an introduction for organisations or collectives that want to submit an application for the first time.

Programme

  • Explanation of the Arts Decree
  • Introduction checklist
  • Timeline of advice offered by Flanders Arts Institute, Cultuurloket, VAi and VI.BE to support the deadline for operating subsidies

This live session is followed by a networking opportunity.
