Balearic Islands: 6,077 seek €400 culture grant

In the Balearic Islands, 6,077 young people have applied for a €400 culture grant, and applications close on 31 October 2026. The grant is for people born in 2008 who turn 18 this year or have already done so. Spain’s Ministry of Culture reported the figures on Thursday, 15 October; more than 337,000 applications have been made across Spain.

What the grant covers

Successful applicants receive a prepaid card, either on their phone or as a physical card, to use at participating businesses and organisations. There are currently 4,159 taking part across Spain.

The grant sets aside up to €200 for live arts, audiovisual activities, cultural heritage and art-making materials. Up to €100 can go towards physical products such as books, magazines, video games and records, and another €100 towards digital products such as subscriptions, e-books and online news. Alternatively, recipients can put the full €400 towards one of three categories: cultural courses and workshops, musical instruments, or art-making supplies.

How to apply

Applicants must identify themselves through Cl@ve or with a digital certificate. They can apply themselves or have an adult do it for them; an adult representative must attach a form signed by the young person.

Once approved, recipients have one year to spend the balance with participating businesses and organisations.
