Heij Konijn Fund
Heij Konijn Fund
The fund was established in 1995 by the will of Mrs. R.M. Heij Konijn, widow of former Alderman J. Heij of Arnhem. In her will, Mrs. Heij Konijn stipulated that the proceeds of her estate should be used to provide financial assistance to support the further professional development of young visual and performing artists in and around Arnhem. The Heij Konijn Fund annually supports ten to fifteen young artists with a financial donation.

Applicants must live, work, or have studied in Arnhem and the surrounding area (including the municipalities of Arnhem, Rheden, Rozendaal, Renkum, Westervoort, Duiven, and the former municipality of Huissen).
