More funds added to the international travel support

The international travel support is distributed by the four genre-organisations Art Music Denmark, JazzDanmark, ROSA and Tempi and is applied for by more than 500 Danish musicians, who travel abroad with their music, on a yearly basis. The number of applications is increasing, which is why the Danish Arts Foundation’s project support committee has decided to allocate 600.000 DKK as a one-off amount to be distributed equally between the genre-organisations. The extra travel support is disposable until the end of 2023. Before the extra funding, the pool for 2023 amounted to 2.4 million DKK.

Data collected by the genre-organisations show that the demand for international travel support has been steadily increasing since 2021, after the Covid-restrictions were relaxed and enabled Danish musicians to resume their international activities. The demand we experience today isn’t only equal to the standard before the pandemic – it even exceeds it. Thus, the four genre-organistions received 511 applications in total for international travel support in 2019, while they received 593 in the first three quarters of 2023. These data have played a role in the decision to add more subsidies to the international travel support.
