IN SHORT
What is the Festival Alliance Service?
The Festival Alliance Service builds a structured alliance between a festival and foreign cultural houses and missions: shortlisting, invitation, co-curation, funding routes, charter and reporting. A transparent fee of ₹15–40 lakh per edition applies, excluding production and artist fees.
HOW IT WORKS
Six months from mandate to charter.
- A shortlist of houses whose mandates fit
- An alliance structure: Founding Ally, Cultural Ally, Programme Partner
- Funding routes mapped by house, with deadlines
- Charter, letters of intent and MoUs managed to signature
