Live music theatre events in Bremen advance to the next phase
Bremen, Germany - The WFB Economic Development Bremen GmbH is set to reopen the "Stage Program for Clubs and Live Music Venues" on August 1, 2024. This program aims to provide a potential location advantage for the music industry and businesses in Bremen, strengthening the local music industry and having positive effects on clubs and live music venues.
The program focuses on supporting live music events in Bremen, particularly promoting up-and-coming artists. Eligible applicants include clubs, live music venues, and event organizers based in Bremen with a capacity of up to 500 people. To be considered, applicants must host at least ten live music events per year. Artistically inclined DJ performances are also eligible for funding under this program.
Successful applicants who meet the criteria will receive a flat rate of 500 euros per event. The application form and funding guidelines can be found on the WFB Economic Development Bremen GmbH's website.
Economics Senator Kristina Vogt, who oversees the grants distributed by the WFB Economic Development, believes that the Stage Program can be a significant advantage for the music industry and businesses in the Bremen region. She also emphasises that the thriving cultural and creative industry in Bremen, including the music industry, is an important factor in attracting young, well-educated professionals.
Moreover, the lively club scene with diverse music events in Bremen makes it an attractive place to live, contributing to the attractiveness of Bremen as a whole. The Stage Program can, therefore, contribute to the city's appeal, fostering its growth and development.
The Stage Program is part of WFB Economic Development Bremen GmbH's ongoing efforts to promote the cultural and creative industries in Bremen. Typically, such programs have eligibility criteria aimed at registered clubs, live music venues, and sometimes event organizers or promoters located in Bremen or the wider Bremen region. The venues often need to demonstrate active live music programming and compliance with local regulations.
The application process involves submitting a formal application including detailed descriptions of the venue, planned events, budgets, and how the funds will be used to support live music or cultural activities. There may be deadlines and application forms available via WFB's or Bremen's cultural department's websites. Funding amounts can have minimum and maximum limits and may require matching contributions or evidence of economic viability.
For the most precise and up-to-date details, it is recommended to visit the official website of WFB Economic Development Bremen GmbH or contact their cultural funding department.
