Tanzquartier Wien: Application DANCE ON TOUR AUSTRIA (DOTA)

AUSSCHREIBUNGEN | Einreichfrist: 31.10.2025

+++ Sadly, we have to announce that DOTA funding for 2025 has been cut by the Federal Ministry for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs (BMEIA) by almost 50%. This decision is very regrettable, as it means that many artists and promoters who rely on this support will receive less funding or none at all. +++
