Stokroos Foundation: Seed Grant

Stokroos Foundation: Seed Grant

Stichting Stokroos: Seed Grant
Funding for the professional development of emerging visual artists, designers and craft practitioners

The Stokroos Foundation was founded in 1992 by Paul Deiters (1952-2017). His love for people, nature, and art inspired him to contribute to a better world. In 2005, Stokroos began implementing its objective: to support designers and visual artists.

Stichting Stokroos offers Seed Grants to individual makers, duos and collectives, providing them with time and space to focus on their artistic development. The grant supports makers in exploring new directions and further developing their artistic practice. International mobility may be included when it contributes to the applicant's artistic development.
