Barcelona City Council

Barcelona City Council, through the Barcelona Institute of Culture, is accepting applications for “Barcelona Crea” grants, which seek to keep driving culture and science in the city by offering resources for carrying out artistic research and innovation. The 2023 “Barcelona Crea” grants are intended to support pre-production processes for the creation of artistic projects in the performing arts (creation, experimentation and rehearsal), visual arts, musical creation, audiovisual creation, popular cultures, literary creation and translation, audiovisual scripts, art and science and communal creation. 175 grants of 6,000 euros each are available. In addition, some of the categories can include the Beques+ awards, which also offer the possibility of a residency for carrying out the project the grant is given for.

The call for applications 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 application period starts on 9 January and ends on 9 February 2023.

Individuals or organisations benefiting from the “Barcelona Crea” grants must complete the stages of the project that are covered by the funding in the months after it is awarded, and before 28 February 2024 at the latest. Justifications must be submitted before 31 March 2024.
