Goethe-Institut Nigeria Support & Connect Program 2024

Application Deadline: February 16, 2024

Applications are open for the Goethe-Institut Nigeria & Support & Connect Program 2024. Welcome to the Goethe-Institut Nigeria Support & Connect Program 2024! The purpose of this initiative is to support Nigerian cultural experts, individual artists, and collectives in completing their artistic endeavors.

Furthermore, the Goethe-Institut Nigeria boasts a well-established history of endorsing artistic endeavors throughout Nigeria, encompassing a diverse array of media including music, modern dance, photography, documentaries, theater, visual arts, literature, and beyond.

Through this program, financial support is provided to artists and cultural specialists who may receive invitations to participate in festivals or cultural projects in Germany or around Africa but may not have the means to do so.

However, we think that this support is essential to provide young and up-and-coming artists in Nigeria’s cultural landscape with a chance to be acknowledged.

Goethe-Institut Nigeria Support & Connect Program 2024

The Goethe-Institut Nigeria assists Nigerian cultural specialists, individual artists, and collectives as they carry out their projects.

The Goethe-Institut Nigeria has provided funding for numerous artistic endeavors in Nigeria throughout the years, spanning a wide spectrum of media including music, modern dance, photography, documentaries, theater, visual arts, literature, and much more.

Furthermore, financial assistance is offered by Goethe-Institut Nigeria to artists and cultural experts who are invited to festivals or cultural initiatives in Germany or elsewhere in Africa but face financial barriers to participation.

We think that this money is crucial to provide new and up-and-coming artists in Nigeria’s cultural landscape with a chance to be acknowledged and seen.
