Sponsor Program
This is where your journey begins. Our sponsor program is an initiative designed for committed artists who are looking for a way to grow their audience, gain experience and earn the necessary income. We aim to build a bridge directly from you to a wider audience.
Our mission
We are a creative collective with the goal of helping artists reach their full potential. We want to provide our artists with the financial breathing space to focus on their art and do what they do best.
Uplifting artists who may not otherwise receive these opportunities is the mission as we believe great and genius people sadly are not always in the position to exercise their talents. We believe we can remedy this one artist at a time.
You might be asking yourself if there are any fees or hidden costs involved? The answer is yes, once you have been selected there will be a one-time payment of €242 that will be due.
After this, however, there is nothing more that comes out of your pocket. The visa application, flights and anything else needed for you to come here will be paid by us. Because we are here to help you grow, but how are we going to do this?
Employment
We offer employment opportunities mainly in the service, retail and music industries.
Although these will typically be part-time, we ensure your salary will be sufficient to cover the cost of living. This way, we provide you with enough time to put into your art and boost your CV at the same time.
Housing
Along with employment, we will provide you with suitable housing. This way, you will have a place to stay as soon as you land.
Whatever your preferences are, we endeavour to meet your needs. During the process, we discuss the details of your housing.
Art
Once you have settled in, you can start focusing on what makes your heart beat.
Whether you are a musician, painter or photographer, you can take advantage of this opportunity. We offer a pathway to success for all artists regardless of their discipline. What we do here is continuously connect you to paid jobs relating to your artform. So not only will you receive a salary from your day job, you will also get paid for doing what you love!
Beyond the ordinary
This is where your journey begins. Get to know our business, what we do, and how we're committed to quality and great service. Join us as we grow and succeed together. We're glad you're here to be a part of our story.
Application
The first step is applying for this program. Fill in your details via the button below and tell us about yourself and your art. Applications are open until March 31st 2026.
Currently there are only 12 open spots for this program.
Review and selection
We will review all applications thoroughly and make a decision as soon as possible. We will reach out regarding your selection by May 1st 2026. If you do not hear from us by this date, you have not been selected. If you consent, however, we will keep your details on file for 12 months. Should any spots become available, we will reach out to the candidates on file first.
Onboarding
Congratulations! You have been selected and will now begin the onboarding process. Here we will get to know you better and you will learn more about this program. We will get started on getting everything sorted out for a smooth transition to living and working in the Netherlands.
Once everything has been discussed and agreed upon regarding employment and housing as well, you must pay the fee of €242 euros before the visa application process can start.
Visa application process
We will handle the visa application for you and navigate this process with you. During the onboarding process we will have gathered all your necessary information. The process may vary slightly depending on your country of origin.
Approval or denial
A decision on your visa will typically be made within 90 days. Once approved, you are basically all set to board the plane!
Should your visa be denied, we may be able to appeal this. This will take more time so we urge you to be as precise as possible with the information you provide.
If the visa is denied due to an error from the applicant, the €242 you've paid will be forfeited. If the visa is denied due to an error from our side as sponsor, you will receive a full refund.
Travel
Your visa has been approved and everything is set for your arrival! Now how will you get here?
This depends, of course, on where you are coming from but typically this will involve a flight. We will book your ticket for you and not only that, we will also make sure you get from the arrival airport to where you will be staying. All you have to do, is make sure you get to the departure airport on time for your flight.
So don't wait any longer and fill in the form below! And to be clear; no payments will be due until both parties have decided to continue with the program during the onboarding process. Filling in the form does not mean you are obligated to pay anything yet.
