Barcelona City Council

Barcelona City Council, through the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (Barcelona Institute of Culture), has announced grants to support creation, called the Barcelona Crea grants. The aim of these grants is to contribute to maintaining the cultural and scientific impulse of the city by offering resources to develop artistic research and innovation processes. In the 2021 edition, these grants are intended to support the pre-production processes that accompany the creation of artistic proposals (conceptualisation, gestation, research, experimentation, documentation...) in the fields of literature, music, audiovisual, scripts, popular cultures, performing arts, visual arts, as well as proposals that link art and science. 170 grants of 6,000 euros each are available.

The call is open to both natural and duly incorporated legal persons and to groups of natural or legal persons. The minimum age to be a beneficiary is 18 years old. The calendar year in which the call for applications is published is used as a reference.

In order to ensure that these grants can reach as many people as possible, each person or organisation applying for these grants can only present a single application for a single category. In this sense, consideration will be given to the natural or legal person applying. If more than one application is received from the same person, only the first one registered will be accepted.

The deadline for submitting applications is from 30th December 2021 to 4th February 2022 (both inclusive)

Justifications must be submitted before 31st March 2023. This justification consists of submitting a detailed report of the activity carried out.
