The application is made through the artist's Art Office account. To ensure the budget lasts the full year, there are three rounds of applications. Applicants must take into account a processing period of eight weeks from the given deadline. The project must not start before the application deadline.
View one example of the application form.
If the application meets the formal criteria (for more information see the
regulations), it will be submitted to an expert advisory committee. In addition to meeting the requirements, the committee's advice is determined by the artistic quality of the project and the expected impact on the artist's development. Based on this advice, the director of CBK Rotterdam will decide whether a subsidy should be granted, and the amount of any financial contribution given. Applicants will be informed of the decision by email.
