Experts will evaluate 34 applications for the Baltic Culture Fund
Organizations have submitted 35 applications to the Baltic Culture Fund, administered by the Lithuanian Council for Culture. After the evaluation of administrative conformity, 34 initiatives have been forwarded for expert evaluation. The total fund amount for 2025 is €300,000. The results are expected to be announced at the end of April 2025.
Funding and Submission of Applications
The Fund is focused on enhancing cultural collaboration among the Baltic States and boosting the international presence of Lithuanian, Estonian, and Latvian culture through joint cultural projects and events. Projects can receive funding ranging from €25,000 to €100,000, with applicants required to have self-financing and/or co-financing of at least 20% of the total project budget. Applications are open to legal entities registered in any of the Baltic States, as long as the project includes partners from all three countries.
Requirements and Evaluation
The applications in English will be evaluated by a six-member Expert Committee, with two members from each Baltic country. The Fund supports projects in the fields of architecture, visual arts, design, literature, music, performing arts, libraries, museums, and archives. The list of the 2025-2027 panel of experts can be found here.
About the Baltic Culture Fund
The Baltic Culture Fund has been active since 2019, each year providing funding for international projects that enhance the cultural connections and international presence of the Baltic States. The Fund is managed on a rotating basis by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, the Latvian State Culture Capital Foundation, and the Lithuanian Council for Culture, based on a three-year cycle. Starting in 2025, the Lithuanian Council for Culture will manage the Fund, and applications will be accepted once a year. The calls for applications will be held in 2025, 2026, and 2027.
