Kunsten debuutsubsidies (voor individuen)

The VGC aims to support debuting Brussels artists with one of their first full artistic projects. This procedure is primarily intended to give young Brussels artists a push to dare to create their first artistic project. Artists with a late calling can also apply for a debut grant. A project within a debut grant is similar to a project within the regular project grant: the applicant must be officially established in the Brussels-Capital Region, the grant supports the creation of new artistic work, and the application focuses on the realization of a concrete and complete project. A public try-out is not sufficient, and the artistic project must be performed or shown at least once in the Brussels-Capital Region. All artistic disciplines are eligible. Specific requirements for the debut grant include that the applicant must be a 'debut artist' and must not have previously received a grant from VGC Arts. The grant is requested for the realization of a first smaller artistic project, and an artistic partner is not required. The requested grant amount cannot exceed €3,000. Applications must be submitted at least 8 weeks before the first presentation date (12 weeks in July and August).
