What is a creative loan?

The creative loan will help to implement the project, when the national decision makers and fans run out of money.

You’re an artist, a musician, a writer, a photographer, or a creative person in any other field.

You have an idea. You have a plan. You have a conviction. Unfortunately, you lack the means to carry out your vision.

So far, cultural projects have been dependent on the will of public donors and courtiers. Many ideas have found the necessary capital, while most have remained unsupported. Not anymore!

Watch the introduction

Creative loan is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the cultural and creative sectors, such as:

  • the audiovisual sector (films, television programs, animated films, video games and multimedia),
  • organization of festivals,
  • music,

  • architecture,
  • archives,
  • libraries and museums,
  • arts and crafts,
  • cultural heritage,
  • design,
  • performing arts,
  • publishing,
