Drop-In Consultations

The Drop-in Consultation is for applicants who have not previously come into contact with the AFK. This gives applicants an opportunity to discuss their application in a less-formal setting. During the Drop-in Consultation, applicants have a chance to explain their project plan in person. The applicant will receive a decision about his or her project from the AFK within one week.

Drop-in Consultations are open to amateur artists, organisations or institutions, as well as professional artists, organisations or institutions. Before putting together the project plan that will be the subject of your Drop-in Consultation, please read carefully:

• the scheme (Amateur / Professional)
• Explanatory Notes on the Scheme (Amateur / Professional)
• Guidelines When Applying (Amateur / Professional).

During the Office hours, the applicant explains his submitted project plan orally in a 30-minute conversation. The AFK will decide on the contribution in the short term.

PLEASE NOTE: For the Drop-in Consultation you need to make a project plan and a corresponding correct budget plan. In your project plan, you must also devote attention to the marketing and communication for the project. We need this in order to be prepared for your visit during the consultation.

The requested subsidy amount should have a minimum of € 2,500 and a maximum of € 5,000 for a project with a total maximum of € 10,000.

The number of registrations for the Drop-in Consultation is high. A registration therefore offers no guarantee of participation. If you want to be sure that your application will be processed, do not apply via the Drop-in Consultation, but via the regular procedure. Here you will find an overview of the regular subsidy options.
