NEMO is a programme for mobility and artistic exchange, led by the Nordic Culture Fund in partnership with the arts funding agencies of Ireland, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.  The programme focuses on individual artists and arts practitioners in the early stages of their careers, with the aim of strengthening artistic exchange, collaboration and professional networks across the Nordic countries, the UK and Ireland.

 

Eligibility criteria in summary:

• You must be an emerging individual artist or arts practitioner resident in Ireland or UK and your collaborative partner (artist / practitioner / organisation) must be based in the Nordic countries: Denmark, The Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, or The Åland Islands.
• You must be applying for a new partnership or collaboration, and you must have approached the person or organisation that you want to work with.
