Offers

Actors in Cologne’s new and experimental music can benefit from various support services offered by ON Cologne. ON Cologne offers access to two rehearsal rooms, free equipment rental, the micro-scholarship, free workshops and advice on planning and implementing music projects.

Our support program is currently limited due to incomplete office staffing.

Advice

Anyone who has questions about writing a funding application or realising a project in Cologne can register for a consultation appointment by emailing support@on-cologne.de.

Once a month, an expert with many years of work experience is available to provide feedback and advice on applications or project plans. The counselling time slot comprises a total of 3-4 hours per counselling day; appointments of up to 60 minutes (90 minutes in exceptional cases) can be booked in advance by sending an email to support@on-cologne.de.

Microgrants

Due to the tight budget situation, ON Cologne will unfortunately not be able to award any micro-scholarships in 2025. We would like to refer you to the IFM e.V. micro-grant.
