- 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 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.
