Dansk Artist Forbund – Musik og scenekunst (individuel pulje 2026/2)

The Danish Artists' Association distributes collective rights money to people working in music and the performing arts, and this individual pool is where you apply for your own projects. Its usefulness lies in how broadly the scope is drawn: releases, though not demos, live performance, study trips, education within your field, film work — mainly the musical side — music videos, visuals, books and podcasts have all fallen within it. The connecting thread is that the project relates to performing artists' work.

Amounts are modest and the association is straightforward about it: grants have typically fallen between roughly DKK 3,000 and DKK 12,000. This is money that unblocks something specific rather than funding a whole campaign.

The detail worth knowing is that membership is not required. The collective rights funds are open to everyone, member or not. What is required is that the application is personal — you apply for yourself and cannot apply on someone else's behalf — and only one application per project is accepted.

Applications go through the association's own portal, where you create a personal user profile first. The 2026/2 round opened on 1 July and closes on 31 August at noon.

Little detail is published about how applications are assessed, so how clearly you describe the project and what the money will actually do is carrying most of the weight.
