LOKAL – Programme for Culture and Engagement promotes artistic co-operation between cultural players and new partners such as sports clubs or voluntary fire brigades in towns and municipalities with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants

 

Art & AI (working title) provides artists' groups and cultural institutions with resources to explore the aesthetic potential of AI technologies and reflect on their social impact

 

Übermorgen – New Models for Cultural Institutions invites cultural institutions in large cities to create space for fundamental innovations, e.g. through experimental utilisation concepts or new municipal cooperations
