Drop-In Consultations
Applicants from all disciplines of the arts who have not previously received a subsidy from the AFK.
Drop-in Consultations take place on the last Tuesday of every month.
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.
During the Drop-in Consultation, the applicant has 30 minutes to discuss and explain the project plan which was submitted in advance. The AFK will decide whether or not to provide a subsidy within a short period of time.
What is a Drop-in Consultation?
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.
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.
Who can participate?
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 ).

Here is a list of options for applying for a regular subsidy.

- People who have previously received funding from the AFK, even if it was on behalf of a separate organisation, are NOT eligible for the Drop-in Consultation.
- It is not possible to use the Drop-in Consultation to apply for a Development budget or Programme Subsidy.
- Please note: there must be at least one months between the time of the Drop-in Consultation and the project's starting date / opening / premiere.
