Additional funding for Portuguese organisations already selected in Creative Europe 2025
Grantsradar is a personal curation project by a solo creator working in media art, electronic music and audiovisual practice, based in Lisbon. It collects grants, residencies, mobility funding, festivals and fellowships that fit — or nearly fit — that profile, from Portugal, Iberia and Europe.
How curation works. Official sources are checked weekly (see the Sources page). Every card links to the official call page or the nearest working entry point. Amounts and deadlines are shown as published by the organisers — always verify the details on the official page before applying, and note that some calls close early when an application cap is reached.
What the tags mean. “Individuals welcome” — a solo artist can apply. “Duos / collectives” — apply as a duo or group. “Organisations only” — a legal entity is required. “Outside solo profile” — listed for completeness, but it does not fit a solo application. “New” marks a call added recently.
