Netherlands Embassy in Belgium: Open call for support

Every year the Netherlands Embassy in Belgium organizes open calls to provide funding for Dutch‑Belgian co‑projects across all artistic disciplines. The next edition closes on 3 November 2026 for projects scheduled to run between 1 January and 31 July 2027, and on 18 May 2027 for projects running between 1 August and 31 December 2027. Eligible projects are Dutch‑Belgian collaborations, with the Belgian partner required to submit the application. Projects must take place in Belgium (or involve virtual collaboration) and are given special consideration if they are located in Wallonia or the Meuse‑Rhine Euregion. The call prioritizes the performing arts, contemporary visual arts, creative industries (architecture, design, fashion, digital art), cultural heritage, and multidisciplinary initiatives that explore innovative formats, cross‑border cultural exchange, and inclusion. Funding support is provided to selected projects, though the exact amount is not specified on the call page. The embassy encourages projects that promote participation, equal rights, and sustainability.
