subsidies for creative people

The objectives of the grant program are to support entrepreneurship and the systematic development of creative industries, to promote Brno’s creative sector at national and international level, to educate the professional and lay public, and to support new activities of creators with benefits for society (e.g. revitalization of public space).

Other welcomed benefits of the program include facilitating the cooperation of individual actors from the creative industries or the involvement of local creators in what we call the innovation ecosystem of the city and the Czech Republic.

We are very sorry, but the official documents and the application are only available in the Czech language. If you want to apply in the subsidy program, contact us.
