Get matched →The Art Heritage Festival grant supports the presentation of visual art and/or heritage at festivals, biennales, triennales and similar events held in physical spaces. The grant is intended for activities that help reach a more diverse or broader audience for visual art and/or heritage, or for activities that meaningfully connect to the public in an engaging way. The event must have a supra-regional, national or international scope.
Non-profit organizations or collectives of legal entities based in the Netherlands or Caribbean part of the Kingdom. Institutions for art education and post-academic institutions are excluded. If a visual artist is involved, they must demonstrate at least 1 year of professional practice.
Festivals, biennales, triennales and similar events held in the Netherlands or Caribbean part of the Kingdom that are partly or wholly dedicated to the presentation of visual art and/or heritage. Events must be publicly accessible and held no more than once per year. Applications cannot be submitted for journals, publications, documentaries, symposia, conferences, or online festivals and events.
The amount of the contribution is determined per application. The Mondriaan Fund can contribute up to 40% of eligible project costs directly associated with the visual art and/or heritage activities. The minimum project budget must exceed €25,000 and may only include costs directly related to the project. Grants of €100,000 or more are highly exceptional; contact the Mondriaan Fund for such applications.
Applications can be submitted at any time of the year using the online application system. An account is required before submitting an application. A 3-month period is required for processing applications. No grants are awarded retrospectively.
Everyone included in the budget must be paid in accordance with applicable collective labour agreements or guidelines. If a visual artist is involved, realistic remuneration is obligatory and must be included in the budget. Artist's fees are eligible for funding. Support will not be provided for activities already funded through another Mondriaan Fund grant, a multi-year grant from a national cultural fund, or other specified funding sources.
