The Balkan Incentive Fund for Culture (BIFC) is one out of three grants schemes awarded by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) in order to strengthen relations across the Western Balkans and the region’s relations with Europe. The Incentive was initially founded in 2006 by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and Humanist Institute for Development Cooperation (HIVOS) from Netherlands and Open Society Institute.


Funding overview

The BIFC Fund awards grants to support collaborative artistic and cultural exchange within, between or with countries of the Western Countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia).

The aim of the grant schemes is to promote Empowerment of People through Art and Culture, Connecting Sources of Knowledge and Linking Policy and Practice. The eligible applicants are independent organisations coming from the region or any other European Union country wanting to collaborate with partners from Western Balkans.

Contemporary art biennial D-O ARK Underground is one of the recent projects funded by BIFC and is organized in Herzegovian town Konjic in order to promote human rights and tolerance. In May 2011, the project partner SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts will organize six lectures, where respectable art historians present the development of contemporary art from 1990es until today.
