With the PRO and SPOT grants, Stroom is committed to the development and (inter)national profiling of art and artists from The Hague. >> CLICK HERE for a selection of recent allocations.

- Stroom Den Haag's grant scheme takes the specific strengths and strong potential of The Hague's art scene as its point of departure. The scheme is driven by two key motives. In the first place, the wish to strengthen the local artistic climate. And secondly, the desire to increase the visibility of The Hague's art scene and artists.
- Stroom grants are always awarded as a one-off allocation. They follow specific formats and have an immediate effect. Stroom grants are not intended to cover structural living costs or structural professional expenses.
- Stroom's grant system is distinguished from national schemes by its explicit focus on ‘The Hague's interests'. When Stroom evaluates a proposal, the underlying criterion is always the extent to which the plan will contribute to the improvement and strengthening of the city's artistic climate. This helps to create a high-quality, open and dynamic local art scene that can enable Hague artists to connect more effectively to the Dutch and international art worlds.
- Stroom's objective is to stimulate the visual arts climate in The Hague. This includes a safe (working) environment for artists, professionals and interested parties. In case of (serious suspicion of) transgressive behavior which makes persons feel threatened in their safety, Stroom reserves the right to take measures, such as not processing a grant application, or rejecting registration in the artist database.

SPOT GRANTS

SPOT grants are intended to increase the visibility and improve the presentation of The Hague's artists and art scene. The scheme takes account of new forms of presentation and distribution.You can only apply for a SPOT subsidy digitally. Fill out the form in Adobe Acrobat Reader and email it as an attachment to: spotsubsidies@stroom.nl

SPOT QUARTERLY BUDGET
The 2023 SPOT grant budget is distributed over 4 quarters:
Quarter I: January, February, March
Quarter  II: April, May, June
Quarter III: July, August, September
Quarter IV: October, November, December
>> Check right-hand column

Grants are charged to the quarter in which the opening of the exhibition or the start of the documentation takes place. The leading date is the date the exhibition/documentation starts, not the submission date of the SPOT application. Example: the SPOT application is submitted in March for an exhibition whose opening is on 8 August. The amount awarded for this application will then be placed in the quarter III of the SPOT budget.
 
In the right-hand column you can find whether or not applications can be submitted for a particular quarter, showing "open for applications" or "closed for applications". Closed for applications means that the quarterly maximum of the grant budget has been reached and no more applications can be considered for that quarter.
