There are several entities offering art calls. Some even support you with a little money. Among them surely Weigh Station, Bando Generazioni and Strike. However, take a look at Stiftung Fondazione Sparkasse because they also give some money if they really like your project. You can also pitch your project to the Province and the Cultural Department, but you have to apply for a funding with a different procedure.

You want to exhibit your work? You can ask for a shelter to different local entities. In DrinBZ we always look forward to exhibit the art of young artists. However, there are also other places that we recommend, such as:
• Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare• Foto Forum
• SMACH
• Südtiroler Künstlerbun
• Ar/Ge Kunst
• Associazione culturale Lasecondaluna
• JUMP Centro Giovanile Appiano
• Bolzano Art Weeks
• Spazio AMA

• COOLtour
• DRIN
• Lungomare
• SPAZIO CUT
• Bunker H
• TreviLab
If you need a space to organise a workshop, you can always ask in DrinBZ. But we don’t want to only feather our own nest, so try asking the following entities as well. The Weigh Station organises loads of them, but also contact the TreviLab or CoolTour. They will surely be able to help you. Also the PIPPO.Food.Chill.Stage has organised some workshops!
Provincial and municipal offices can support you, but they have no spaces to offer.

Ahhh, you want to organise some stuff like a tournament or a sporting event or similar? Provincial and municipal offices can help you out. If you are a student contact SCUB!
• SCUB• Ufficio Cultura – Comune di Bolzano
• Ufficio Cultura – Provincia autonoma di Bolzano
You have a class but you lack the gym? Try with the Fondazione UPAD. If you want to make a small association instead, you can count on SSV Bozen.
It may seem like slamming, but both handle much of the bureaucracy.
• Fondazione UPAD• Uisp Bolzano
Are you a student? SCUB organises sports classes.
You just started working? Have a look at Fondazione UPAD, USSA, UISP…

If you need a funding contribution, you can ask the Cultural Office of the Province or the City Council.

If you are here and haven’t understood yet that you can come to DRIN in Corso Italia, 34, there is a problem. If you dislike us you can go to the various libraries in the city or unibz (but it closes often). If you need a coworking you can go to Startbase, but it is fee-based. Otherwise the NOI.Techpark has also a coworking/studio area.

You like the mountains, huh? You don’t want to go there alone, don’t you? Try signing up for the C.A.I. that organise a lot of excursions. If you like to experience the mountains in a special way, on the other hand, BeYoung always organises trips that are different from the usual!
