- The Focus: The working grant supports one to three years of full-time artistic practice under a coherent work plan, used during a continuous grant period.
- The Funding: The pages do not state a grant amount. The working grant supports living costs and is paid for three months at a time, with four payments each year.
- Key Requirements: Apply through the working-grant eligibility questions and portal with a work plan, current CV, digital work samples and at least one recommendation, preferably two. No budget is required; check the form for the recommendation deadline.

Application notesUse https://ansokan.kulturfonden.fi/prequestions/2707 and select November / Arbetsstipendier in the portal. Submit one application for the longest one-, two- or three-year period you would accept, with a work plan covering the whole period, an updated CV and current digital work samples. Visual artists should provide a PDF portfolio identifying each work's title, technique and year, or an accessible website with those details; social-media accounts, reviews or articles alone are insufficient, and direct Google Drive/Dropbox sample links are not accepted. The CV should include education, current and previous work/projects; PDF is recommended and a LinkedIn link is not accepted. Provide at least one recommendation, preferably two, as dated signed letters or through portal requests; the page gives only mid-December for the recommendation deadline and its exact 2026 date must be checked in the form. No budget is required. Disclose external generative-AI assistance, including tools and purpose. The full form and sample count/file limits were not publicly available.
