How did we find funding for festivals?

Inartem wants to ensure and, above all, lighten the work of artists. That is why we work to establish ourselves as a reference space for support and advice for your projects.
After months of in-depth knowledge of the financing offer in the cultural sector and, at the same time, delving into your artistic realities, we have detected the need to offer more grounded, concrete and aligned answers to the different ways and structures of creating and promoting culture.

From there, we started a series of campaigns focused on specific artistic forms and disciplines. The first, aimed at Festivals, understanding them as a diverse cultural format — in terms of artistic disciplines — but concrete — at a territorial and temporal level. Our territorial framework is mainly Catalonia, although we also explore a national vision while, little by little, we are investigating a more international one. In this way, we approach you with the knowledge and mastery of a wide range of possibilities to finance you, while allowing us, at the same time, to specialize more and more in different areas of financing.

Collection of grants for festivals

With all this, we present the first of the specific observatories, a database that collects all the funding channels aimed at a specific discipline or artistic format, in this case, festivals. Through this tool we assess the compatibility between your project and existing grants and extract a financing plan that is grounded and appropriate to your reality.

“By helping festivals find the funding they need, we have managed to promote cultural and territorial diversity with solutions adapted to the reality of each project.”

We have found that festivals are a key piece for the cultural and social development of the territory. With their ability to bring together diverse disciplines and create spaces for meeting and reflection, they become engines of local dynamism and bridges between tradition and innovation. For this reason, we consider it essential to support these initiatives through adapted financing solutions that allow their sustainability and growth, ensuring that they can continue to offer unique and enriching experiences for the public and creators.
