The coronavirus crisis is a test, but also an opportunity for social cohesion in Europe. It has redrawn borders which we believed overcome, deepened inequalities and made us realize our social vulnerability. At the same time, we are experiencing the emergence of direct forms of solidarity, new ideas for social coexistence and original formats in the arts.

With the Motto “Strengthening Voices, Creating Open Spaces, Establishing Alliances”, the Allianz Kunststiftung wish to reach parties using artistic and cultural means to create open spaces enabling critical discourse about Europe’s future, and also support exchange and networking across borders.

Also, as a European cultural foundation, the Allianz Kunststiftung is seeking projects of a translocal nature, meaning that partners from different countries or different regions collaborate; projects which use the vantage points of the arts to think beyond their own horizon, to engage in new and unusual alliances, and enable as many different parties as possible to cooperate and engage.

Project outlines would be accepted on an ongoing basis. For projects beginning in the first half of 2021, however, all project outlines must be submitted by September 1. Successful applications will be announced in December 2020.
