New fund for artistic exploration of artificial intelligence

The German Federal Cultural Foundation is launching the Art & AI funding program, which will support at least ten projects of excellence at the interface of art, artificial intelligence and society. The fund is aimed at cultural institutions and independent artist groups from all disciplines and provides a total of up to 3.68 million euros for the years 2024 to 2028.

In addition to financial support, the program includes workshops, academies and presentations to promote the transfer of knowledge within and beyond the funded projects. The funding amount per project is between 100,000 and 240,000 euros.

Funding is provided for projects that explore the aesthetic potential of AI technologies and artistically reflect on their social impact. There is a particular focus on the use of technology for the common good, open source licenses and ethical issues.

Applications can be submitted until April 10, 2025 using the online form. Further information on the funding principles and the application process can be found on the Federal Cultural Foundation's website.
