Two NI projects receive funding in the second round of NEMO programme
12th November, 2026
The Nordic Culture Fund and the arts funding agencies of Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales are supporting 35 artists in the second year of the Northern European Mobility Opportunity (NEMO) programme.
Nemo encourages mobility and artistic exchange for emerging artists to collaborate internationally, and is supported by Arts Council Ireland, Arts Council England, Arts Council Northern Ireland, Arts Council Wales/Wales Arts International and Creative Scotland.
This year 35 artists have been awarded up to DKK 75 000 each to take the next big step in their artistic careers, including two from Northern Ireland.
Artists represent an exceptionally wide range of artistic practices, including photography, electronic music production, folk music, Jacquard weaving, contemporary performance art, and whacking.
Emerging artists from across the Nordic region will now commence an invaluable period of collaboration with creatives from across the UK and Ireland. For many, this will be their first opportunity to develop their creative voice outside their local cultural scene.
