Ulule — European crowdfunding platform for cultural projects

Projects gather not just funding, but also audience, trust and professional visibility. The platform is structured around cultural initiatives where idea, form and context matter, and crowdfunding becomes a way to launch publicly and engage in dialogue with the European community.

Cultural focus and type of projects
Ulule focuses on art, books, exhibitions, design and cultural events. It is used by artists, publishers, curators and independent teams working with tangible results: art books, series of works, exhibition projects, festivals and research formats.

Campaign format and participation logic
The platform operates according to the classic model of crowdfunding with rewards. The author sets the fundraising goal, campaign duration, and reward system — from printed publications and original works to invitations to exhibitions or special events. This format is well suited for projects with a clear concept and results that can be shared with the audience.

European audience and linguistic context
The platform’s main language is French, but the interface is also available in English. Ulule is actively used in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and other European countries. The audience is sensitive to the cultural content and social significance of projects, rather than just their commercial value.

Curatorial support and quality requirements
Unlike universal platforms focused on technology and mass products, Ulule takes a distinctly cultural and editorial approach. The Ulule team supports authors during the campaign preparation stage, helping them to structure their descriptions, visual presentation and communication with their audience. This increases the credibility and professional level of the projects.

Technical conditions and payments
To register and receive funds, you need to provide your bank details in the EU or supported payment services. The platform commission is approximately 6–8%, with standard payment fees charged additionally. Funds are transferred after the successful completion of the campaign, which corresponds to the all-or-nothing model.

Who is the platform
suitable for? The resource is particularly useful for artists and cultural initiatives that are planning exhibitions, publishing projects, art books, festivals or research programmes and are ready to work with a European audience that values quality, meaning and cultural significance.
