Statens Kunstfondgrant
Danish Arts Foundation Working Grants for Visual Artists (Arbejdslegater for billedkunst)
- Who Can Apply: Visual artists applying individually (each member of an artist group applies separately). The program promotes visual art in Denmark and Danish visual art abroad; foreign applicants without MitID can be paid to a foreign bank account.
- The Focus: Working grants to develop the artist's own artistic practice, not other projects or tasks.
- The Funding: The artist receives a working grant set by the committee, possibly for three years; in April 2026 grants ranged from DKK 50,000 to DKK 855,000.
- Key Requirements: Apply in Tilskudsportalen (MitID or CVR login) by 2:00 p.m. on February 3, 2027 with the mandatory motivated-application template (200 to 2,500 characters), a CV and up to 10 pages of images with titles, materials (including any AI use), year and dimensions.
