Canton of Bern promotes creative freedom
The Canton of Bern is replacing its previous call for innovative music education projects with "Entr'acte" grants, which are intended to allow freedom without the pressure of production.
The Office of Culture and the Music Commission of the Canton of Bern are launching the "Entr'acte" scholarships for the first time. The grants allow professional musicians from the Canton of Bern "individual freedom without production pressure to reflect on their own artistic position and/or to expand their own skills in the artistic-creative, technical or organizational fields".
A total of CHF 40,000 is available for the scholarships every two years. A maximum of 20,000 francs can be awarded. The detailed call for applications and the application conditions can be found on the website of the Office of Culture.
Applications must be submitted in writing by Friday, August 5, 2016 at the latest. The "Entr'acte" grants for musicians replace the previous call for innovative music education projects.
