Criteria
The project proposal will be judged on its relevance within a specific context and should fit into several of the following criteria:
it contributes to the infrastructure in the country/region in question: e.g. presentations, training, exchange, research and distribution with a national/regional outreach; is accessible to a broad group of artists;
- high quality artistic policy;
- response to contemporary society and/or interaction with (new) audiences;
- international outreach; e.g. search for connection/interaction in the region or in Africa, Asia or Latin America and/or with Dutch art world. Connections should not be an aim in itself, but should happen as a necessity of the programme content.
