The applicant is based in the Netherlands or on the ABCSSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands), or has a lasting and demonstrable professional relationship with the Dutch cultural sector or the cultural sector of the ABCSSS islands.
The applicant is a professional in the field of film, theatre, music, visual arts, or literature, or a combination of these disciplines.
Amarte supports spoken word projects when a text or voice recording is attached to the application.
The project and/or developmental period has a beginning and an end.
The application is for the development of new work.
Amarte likes to step in at the very beginning of the creative process: projects that are already at an advanced stage therefore have less of a chance.
Amarte aims to support the creative development of artists. Cultural organizations can therefore solely submit an application in collaboration with- and on the initiative of an individual creative/artist for the development of one artistic project.
Amarte particularly intends to be there for makers who are often deemed ineligible at other cultural funds.
Amarte prefers applications for smaller-scale projects with a maximum total budget of €50.000.
Amarte only supports podcasts when there is a narrative (documentary or fiction).
Amarte does not provide grants to solely cover study fees, scholarships, or organizational costs.
Amarte does not support any projects related to studies and/or scholarships. Amarte solely covers classes or courses if these are a part of the project or the developmental grant for which is applied.
Applications with educational purposes only will not be granted.
Amarte provides a grant for material costs when these stem directly from the project applied for.
Amarte does not provide a grant for ongoing organizational costs and general investments relating to your practice.
Amarte does not provide grants for music video’s or dance projects, unless they are part of a multidiciplinary project.
Please note that you cannot apply for multiple projects at the same time. If an application is still pending, it must be completed before you can submit a new application. This also means that it is not possible to apply for both a development and a project grant for the same project. However, after completing a development project, you can apply for a project contribution for that same project.
