Do you want to get your music project off to a flying start in 2026, but don’t know if, how and where you can get funding for your project? On February 18, 2026, the POP Office Bremen, together with Initiative Musik, will be at the Pusdorf Studios to show you what funding opportunities are available for you in 2026.
Henrik Rohde will be coming from Berlin to present the artist funding from Initiative Musik. This is one of the most important programs in Germany, which all ambitious musicians need to know about. Henrik will be available to answer your questions.
All-round view: The POP Office will not only present its own funding programs such as the LIVEfonds (deadline February 22, 26), POP STIPENDIUM, PLAYTIME or the new RELEASEfonds, but also show funding opportunities at other associations, authorities and foundations.
UPDATE: The project funding from the Senator for Culture, established in recent years, will also be presented by Chris Richter at our POPup MEETup, so that you will get an almost complete overview of your opportunities in 2026.
After this input, we will of course take time for your questions and wishes in the Q&A and networking part. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
Everyone is welcome at the event, it is free of charge and no registration is required. So share the event, pack your friends and bandmates, and come along!
