The aid for venues’ programming activity aims to foster diversity and support emerging talent. It should make it easier for small and medium-capacity venues to programme developing artists whose audience is not yet established, or shows not intended to attract a large public; support, multiply and enrich performance dates; and allow artistic teams to be supported in the best conditions. It is for the profiles described in the catalogue: organisations that are affiliated to the CNM; are entertainment businesses holding the licence(s) their activity requires; can show a lasting and regular programming activity in a venue or in their area; and organise shows, manage ticketing and offer a programme with 70% of shows within the CNM’s field in the calendar year before the application, or failing that fifteen shows in a rural setting. Final eligibility depends on the rules in force, the project’s location and the review of the application.
