Nordic Culture Fund supports ambitious ideas that need collaboration to be explored and tested in practice

ENTER is the Nordic Culture Fund’s programme for ambitious ideas which, in collaboration with others, can open up new perspectives and set new things in motion. The programme aims to offer space to experiment, learn as you go along and to test new directions, without necessarily knowing the concrete outcome.
ENTER is designed to create space for ideas that needs to be explored, tested or developed together with others. The programme is for those who need the meeting of different experiences, disciplines, places or perspectives to take an idea further.
ENTER therefore offers the opportunity to explore an idea, method or way of working before its form, outcome or next step is entirely clear. What matters is not that you already have all the answers, but that there is something meaningful to explore, develop or learn together.
They are looking for initiatives that can apply and bring together different experiences, geographies and practices, and which have the courage to challenge established ways of working, and which you, we as a Fund, and others can learn from.
To be eligible for funding through ENTER, your initiative must have a Nordic anchoring and be built on collaboration across borders. Arts and culture must be a significant part of the initiative, but we also encourage collaborations with other sectors, practices and areas of society.
