EUROPEAN PLATFORMS

European Platforms is a funding strand that supports the promotion of new and emerging talent though co-development, co-production and programming.

Platforms cover diverse art forms, such as live music, architecture, poetry, media art, classical music, contemporary dance, pop music, photography, maker and design labs, interdisciplinary sound art, opera and ballet. This strand is now closed for applications. However, it is possible for currently supported European platforms to add new partners each year.

More on all of these projects can be found on our website: www.creativeeurope.eu/funded-projects

UK organisations involved in 10 funded platforms

“We are delighted to be one of the beneficiaries of Creative Europe Platform funding. It feels really important now, more than ever, to be connected with makers across Europe. This funding will help us sustain a new life for the Make Works platform in Scotland, helping to spread awareness of local manufacturing and connect local makers with factories and fabricators in their regions. It will also help to bring Scottish makers closer to their European counterparts.”

Kaye Symington, Co-Founder, Paved With Gold.
