The festival bridges the gap between Greenland and other countries to celebrate music, and to develop a space for collaboration and sharing experiences in creativity and technical skills. To do that, the festival brings people together to network and spread information about the vibrant Greenlandic music scene<\/span>.\u00a0This year artists from Faroe Islands, Sweden \/ Iran and Denmark are showcased together with Greenlandic colleagues of the music scene.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arctic Sounds Festival\u2019s goals meet the Nordic values<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NAPA supports the festival through its Cultural Support Programme. NAPA\u2019s programmes fund projects that build on lasting collaborations between Nordic and Nordic-Arctic actors, such as individuals, and organizations \u2013 and this is exactly what the festival is doing. Since the start of the festival in it has brought together artists from different countries and enabled support and grounds for long-lasting collaborations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NAPA also supports artists travelling to the festival, and projects organized as part of it. This year NAPA is funding for example a 5-day workshop for girls and non-binary people on live sound and lighting techniques, and concert and choir music aimed at kids and youth. Previous years NAPA has funded for example <\/span>Nordic Remix<\/span><\/a> that aimed at cultural collaboration through musical storytelling.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NAPA at the festival<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, NAPA hosts an event on Thursday 17<\/span>th<\/span> of April at the School of Rocks 14.00-15.30. NAPA\u2019s advisor, Pipaluk Lykke, invites all interested festival goers to come by and hear about NAPA\u2019s funding programmes, and how to apply:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNAPA is looking forward to present the two Nordic funding programmes at the Arctic Sounds Festival this year. Anyone interested in getting their creative projects out there in the Nordic sphere, and who likes to work in co-producing collabs in celebration of cultural interactions, is more than welcome. Questions about application and funding, and everything else funding, can be asked. I look forward meeting local and international creatives in my childhood hometown.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NAPA is teaming up with Suialaa Arts Festival and the Alianait Arts Festival on the event, so come and hear more about the Arctic activities!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
