Q: What curated selections of opportunities are in this section?

We build curated selections to keep searching quick: residencies , grants , competitions , remote work , income from your own work and emergency support . Each selection holds 10–12 opportunities, ordered by deadline, with the closest first. Each entry says who it suits and who it does not. We also check the terms on the organiser's official site rather than taking them second-hand. So you read down the list instead of opening every opportunity separately. Besides, a selection helps when you have not yet decided what you are looking for.

Q: Where can artists get emergency support in situations of risk or persecution?

Help works in two stages. In an acute situation Artists at Risk and Artists at Risk Connection step in. Two more programmes are also Artist Protection Fund and Aid A . They usually offer relocation, temporary housing, a stipend and legal support. Artistic Freedom Initiative , for example, covers the legal side of the move free of charge. Conditions differ between programmes, so read the requirements of each one. All ten are gathered in 10 international emergency support programmes , where you can see at a glance which one fits you.

Question 1

Which crowdfunding platforms are suitable for artists?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you are raising money for. Regular support from an audience comes through Patreon, Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee. There people take out a subscription or send a one-off donation. Money for a specific project works differently. You run a campaign with a target and a deadline, so a finished plan comes first. Kickstarter, Startnext, Ulule, WeMakeIt and Wspieram.to all work this way. WeMakeIt, however, curates its projects rather than taking everything. GoFundMe and 4fund are built for something else — raising money for a personal situation rather than for a creative project. Each platform also has its own rules about bank accounts and countries. Besides, the payout terms are worth reading before you launch.

Question 4

Which organisations help artists after relocation?

Accepted Answer

After the move you need a different kind of help — not project money, but a studio, the language and local contacts. Atelier des Artistes en Exil in France provides studios and French lessons. Weltoffenes Berlin builds adaptation in Berlin through cultural projects and local institutions. Artistic Freedom Initiative in the US helps with housing, documents and the right to work. Aid A, by contrast, supports the projects themselves rather than the move. So at this stage what matters is not a fast payment but an environment and professional contacts. For instance, taking part in a city's cultural projects brings both income and new acquaintances.

Question 5

What does the red mark on a resource card mean?

Accepted Answer

Most resources have no deadline at all — they're platforms and tools that operate continuously, so instead of a date they carry a «No deadline» mark: you can visit any time. If a service does have a cycle or an application window, that's stated in the article itself. Either way, it's best to check the exact date and conditions on the organiser's own page before applying.

Question 6

Which creative professionals can use these resources?

Accepted Answer

Not only artists. The support programmes and selections here are also open to photographers, designers, illustrators, curators and arts managers. Directors, musicians, writers and other cultural workers come next — some opportunities take them too. Organisations apply as well: for some grants the applicant is a team or an initiative, not an individual. A cultural initiative or a small independent organisation, for example. Every opportunity states who it is for, so you can check before applying.
