For whom?
Individual makers with a demonstrable professional interdisciplinary practice, in which multiple disciplines are combined that fall within the scope of different national cultural funds, and with at least 1 year of demonstrable professional experience.

Good to know
This scheme was developed through a collaboration between the 6 national cultural funds. The Mondriaan Fund acts as the lead fund for the scheme.
Due to limited resources, it is not always possible to fund all applications that receive a positive recommendation. If the available budget is insufficient to fund all positively assessed applications, these applications will be ranked according to the assessment criteria. This means that an application may receive a positive assessment but nevertheless not be awarded a contribution.
NB Please note that applications and decisions may be shared with the other national cultural funds for the purpose of checking for double funding and evaluating the effectiveness of the scheme.
More information about the conditions, assessment criteria and the information we need to process your application can be found via the button below on the Mondriaan Fund website. This information is available in Dutch and English.
