About – apoio.art

This platform emerged from a collaboration between the Goethe-Institut Rio de Janeiro and the Cultural Cooperation and Action Service of the Consulate General of France in Rio de Janeiro.

We offer an overview of the funding available in France and Germany for artists and other professionals in Brazil. Our aim is to contribute to the democratization and decentralization of information about existing opportunities, facilitating access to them.

What we *don’t* contemplate in support.art, with a few exceptions, are: 1) Programs, festivals, awards (etc.) that call themselves, with no open call for applications; 2) Calls for residents and organizations based in European countries; 3) Promotions already rooted in Brazil and publicized on other channels (see the Links page).

We would like to emphasize that we are not proposing to provide advice or monitor applications. This is a unique and experimental project that attempts to track a large volume of activities from various local, regional or national entities – from the smallest associations of artist groups and activists to the largest funding programs: whether from private entities such as foundations or companies, or from public entities. We hope that apoio.art will thus exemplify the breadth and diversification of international exchanges, and encourage even more cultural cooperation.


We strongly recommend that you consult the search tools on this page Links. For each professional category, there are admirable platforms that collect a huge volume of ads, contacts and resources. Our own sample is much more limited. We will continue to build this page to make it an additional facilitator of your own search.
