Funding and Benefits

Subsidies start at 5,000 €. While no absolute ceiling is set, aid rarely exceeds 15,000 €. DRAC funding is limited to 80% of the total project budget. No national hourly rate is imposed for artists in this Île-de-France scheme. A territorial bonus of 1,000 to 3,000 € is possible for certain priority neighborhoods. Funding covers artistic interventions and participatory activities. Preparation time with partners can be considered, up to 15% of the requested subsidy. Projects can be proposed over two years, requiring a new application for the second year. Benefits also include the development of local social and cultural partnerships and enhanced territorial presence and professional visibility for artists.

Application Cost

Application is free.

Application Requirements & Advice

Build your project with a social partner established in a priority neighborhood. Plan for a minimum of 50 hours of artistic practice, several cultural outings, and a participatory presentation. Present measurable objectives, a realistic calendar, and a budget detailing artist remuneration and co-financing mobilized. Anticipate engagement letters from partners.

Points of Vigilance

• Territorial Eligibility: Only projects primarily benefiting residents of a QPV in Île-de-France are concerned by this edition.
• Mandatory Partnerships: The social structure must actively participate; a simple letter of support or a superficial partnership is not sufficient.
• Artistic Participation: The 50 hours must involve genuine practice by residents; surveys, conferences, or meetings with an artist are not sufficient.
• Budget: The subsidy primarily funds professional interventions. Small equipment, supplies, and certain mediation costs are not included in its calculation.
• Co-financing: DRAC funds a maximum of 80% of the project; the budget must include other resources.
• Cash flow: Notification is expected in February 2027, with payment in the second quarter. Expenses incurred before the award are at the applicant's risk.
• Selection: The jury evaluates artistic quality, territorial relevance, beneficiary mobilization, partnership solidity, and evaluation methods.
• Submission: Exclusively via the 'Démarches numériques' platform before November 9, 2026, at 23:59. Partner commitment letters must be anticipated.
