Stipendium for established visual artists

The Mondriaan Fund is one of the 6 national cultural funds, and supports and promotes the visual arts and cultural heritage in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

With the Artist Basic grant The Mondriaan Fund aims to stimulate the development of visual artists’ oeuvres, their cultural entrepreneurship and their visibility, supporting the creation of work that can make a valuable contribution to contemporary visual art in the Netherlands and/or the Caribbean part of the Kingdom.

This grant is not specifically for international development, but it can be used for projects abroad (outside the Kingdom of the Netherlands). Initially, it can be used to create work, including research, experimentation, or the purchase of new materials or equipment. Additionally, it can support the execution of commissions and/or participation in exhibitions or events both within and outside the Netherlands.
